Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the life and career of John Barry, an Irish-born American naval officer who is widely regarded as the "Father of the American Navy." Beginning his career in the merchant marine, Barry joined the Continental Navy shortly after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. He quickly distinguished himself as a skilled and courageous commander, leading a daring raid that captured the British sloop Edward, the first British warship taken by the Americans. Barry went on to command several ships during the war, including the Raleigh, which he famously ran aground to prevent its capture by two British frigates. After the war, Barry served as the first Commodore of the United States Navy, a position he held until his death in 1803. The author draws on extensive research, including Barry's own letters and papers, to provide a comprehensive account of his life and career. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American Navy or the American Revolutionary War.
