Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commodore John Barry: The Father of the American Navy; A Survey of Extraordinary Episodes in His Naval Career One of the finest types in the entire history of the American navy is Commodore John Barry, the first Captain placed in command of the first war-vessel commissioned to fight under the Continental flag - the Lexington, named after the first battle on land in the Revolution: and it was Barry who captured in battle the first British war-vessel, and thus achieved the honor of having the first British flag struck to him in naval battle, in the struggle for independence under authority of the Continental Congress.
