John Paul Jones
John Paul Jones (born John Paul; July 6, 1747 July 18, 1792) was a Scottish-American naval captain who was the United States' first well-known naval commander in the American Revolutionary War. He made many friends among U.S political elites (including John Hancock and Benjamin Franklin) as well as enemies (who accused him of piracy), and his actions in British waters during the Revolution earned him an international reputation that persists to this day. As such, he is sometimes referred to as the "Father of the American Navy" (a nickname he shares with John Barry and John Adams). Jones was born and raised in Scotland, became a sailor at the age of thirteen, and served as commander of several merchantmen. After having killed one of his mutinous crew members with a sword, he fled to the Colony of Virginia and around 1775 joined the newly founded Continental Navy in their fight against the Kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War. He commanded U.S. Navy shi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Naval Academy Chapel
The United States Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, Maryland, is one of two houses of worship on the grounds of the Navy's service academy. Protestant and Catholic services are held there. The Naval Academy Chapel is a focal point of the Academy and the city of Annapolis. The chapel is an important feature which led to the Academy being designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961. Traditionally, new third-class midshipmen become "Youngsters" when they sight the chapel dome upon returning from their summer cruise. History The Naval Academy Chapel was designed by Ernest Flagg. The article includes a photo and slideshow. The cornerstone was laid in 1904 by Admiral George Dewey and the dedication of the Chapel was on May 28, 1908.

After remodeling, the chapel formed a large cross. The dome ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Paul Jones Flag
Serapis is a name given to an unconventional, early United States ensign flown from the captured British frigate '' Serapis''. At the 1779 Battle of Flamborough Head, U.S. Navy Captain John Paul Jones captured the ''Serapis'', but his own ship, the '' Bonhomme Richard'', sank, and her ensign had been blown from the mast into the sea during the battle. Jones, now commanding the ''Serapis'' without having a U.S. ensign to fly on it, sailed to the island port of Texel, which belonged to the neutral Dutch United Provinces. Officials from Britain argued that Jones was a pirate, since he sailed a captured vessel flying no known national ensign. A year earlier, Arthur Lee, U.S. commissioner in France, wrote in a letter to Henry Laurens that the U.S. ships' "colors should be white, red, and blue alternately to thirteen" with a "blue field with thirteen stars" in the canton. Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, ambassadors to France, wrote a similar description of United States flag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
