16 17 HISTORY A HISTORY OF JOHN PAUL JONES' FLAGSHIP The BON HOMME RICHARD was the flagship of John Paul Jones during the Revolutionary War, and is remembered for her role in the sea battle with the SERAPIS which resulted in one of the most remarkable naval victories on record. There were no naval battles off the coast of the United States during the Revolutionary War, but on the other side of the Atlantic John Paul Jones carried his country's new ensign to dazzling heights, circling the British Isles while taking many prizes and raiding the coast. Originally, the BON HOMME RICHARD was the DURAS, a worn-out French East India man. The ship was assigned to Jones by the French government and was renamed by him after Benjamin Franklin's POOR RICHARD'S ALMANAC, because, he said, he had obtained her by following one of its maxims. She was a one deck vessel and had 21 guns on each side, mainly 12 pounders, with three 18 pounders aft near the water line. On September 23, 1779, off the east coast of England, Jones intercepted a British fleet of naval stores conveyed by the SERAPIS, and the COUNTESS OF SCARBOROUGH. The later vessel was captured by one of Jones' squadron. About 7 o'clock in the evening, a moonlight night, the RICHARD engaged the SERAPIS, a two deck vessel with 25 guns on each side, 10 of them 18 pounders, a much greater armament than the RICHARD carried, and with far more penetrating power, To neutralize the advantage, Jones' policy was to fight at close range, and he maneuvered the RICHARD alongside the SERAPIS stem to stern with their gun muzzles touching and lashed the two ships together. The battle raged on. Two of Jones' 18 pounders burst at the first fire; his lighter guns were gradually silenced by the SERAPIS, and the sides of his vessel were shot away, so that shots from the SERAPIS passed through without touching anything. The RICHARD caught fire in several places. A frightened petty officer let the 200 or 300 British prisoners loose and ran to tear down the colors. Jones broke the hysterical officer's head with a pistol but while a lieutenant of the RICHARD set the prisoners to the pumps. In answer to British captains' inquiry if he was ready to surrender, Jones replied " I have not yet begun to fight"' though the SERAPIS was firing heavily and his own guns were nearly still. Meantime, however, the deadly musket fire from the RICHARD made the service of the upper guns on the SERAPIS almost sure death; and they too were silenced; a cannon shot brought down her mainmast; the combustibles thrown from the RICHARD wrapped her upper deck in fire; and a bucket of hand grenades set off a mass of cartridges strewn along the decks, killing or wounding nearly all of those around and wrecking five big guns. Just then, the SERAPIS struck her colors, though four of her guns were still firing and the ship was sound. After three and one-half hours of bloody battle the BON HOMME RICHARD was victorious. But 302 men of the RICHARD gad been killed or wounded, and she was in terrible condition. Jones transferred to the SERAPIS and tried to tow the BON HOMME RICHARD to a friendly port; but two days later she had to be abandoned and the gallant shop sank about on hour after her crew had left her.
