His ship was on fire. It was sinking. His own ally was firing into it. And he refused to quit.

247 years ago tonight, off Flamborough Head on the English coast, John Paul Jones and the Bonhomme Richard closed with HMS Serapis, a newer and better-armed British warship. Early in the fight, some of Jones's own heavy guns burst and killed their crews. Outgunned, he did the one thing that could level the odds: he lashed his ship to the enemy's so the two crews fought almost muzzle to muzzle in the moonlight.

For hours both ships burned. Then a gr***de dropped from the Richard's rigging into the Serapis set off a chain of explosions on her gun deck. Around 10:30 that night, Captain Richard Pearson struck his colors.

Two days later the Bonhomme Richard slipped beneath the North Sea. Jones sailed away in the ship he'd captured.

It is a story every American should know, and it isn't quite as simple as it looks. 👇 See the pinned comment.

It was on this date, September 24, 1780, that the traitor Benedict Arnold would escape capture and flee to a British ship. He had attempted to give the British West Point…General Washington wanted to give the traitor a rope with a noose!!
