    About this ebook

    The American Revolutionary War produced one of the most famous and ferocious sea-battles of all time. This epic battle fought on the East Coast of Britain on 23rd September 1779, between two similar ships The Bonhomme Richard for the Americans with its captain the notorious John Paul Jones who had deserted his native Scotland to fight for the Americans in their new fledgling American Navy, against the English ship Serapis and its captain Richard Pearson. The sound of gunfire alerted many residents along the Yorkshire Coast, many of whom left their houses to witness this most renowned sea-fight. This book is a brief account of Captain John Paul Jones, Sir Richard Pearson, and the battle of the Bonhomme Richard.
