Bonhomme Richard and Serapis Battle |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Commanded by John Paul Jones, the barely seaworthy American vessel Bonhomme Richard engaged the British warship Serapis in the North Sea. Jones sailed alongside the Serapis and lashed his ship to it. During the bloody three-hour battle, 300 of the 375 Americans aboard were killed or wounded, but in the end the captain of the Serapis surrendered. | ||||||
