A New Look at John Paul Jones

[Talyn]

Some refer to him as the father of the U.S. Navy.

John Paul Jones

This painting shows John Paul Jones (at center, with pistol in hand) at the height of the 1779 battle between his Continental Navy ship, the Bonhomme Richard, and HMS Serapis.

Dang ...... didn't his ship just recently burn up at dock in San Diego I think? Funny, but it looked so much bigger in San Diego than in this painting.

Edit: to add the wink and smile........ of course I was kidding!
