    About this ebook

    “The First Naval Officer” stirs up two consequential questions in American Naval history: namely, who is The Father of American Navy? Or more properly: Is there a Father of the American Navy?” Secondly, why wasn’t the rank and title of Admiral issued by the United States Navy until 1862?

    We hope you enjoy this well-researched and historically objective life and legacy of “Saucy Jack” Captain Barry.

    Twenty years ago we began this research project at the request and support of an editor at the Naval Institute Press on the campus of the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland.

    Recently we were privileged to see the United States Naval Academy in conjunction with the Ancient Order of Hibernians dedicate the Commodore John Barry Memorial Gate and Plaza.
