Description |
Bust of John Paul Jones in the John Paul Jones House, corner of Middle and State streets, Portsmouth, NH. Arthur Harriman wrote the following about John Paul Jones: "Captain Jones received his commission to command the Ranger the day the National Flag was adopted by Congress. He remarked 'That flag and I are twins. So long as we can float we will float together: if we must go down we shall go down as one." He sailed from this port November 1, 1777 with news of the surrender of Burgoyne, and from the masthead of this Piscataqua built ship, The Ranger the Stars and Stripes received the first salute from any foreign power in France, February 14, 1778." |
