Description
The first USS Bon Homme Richard, formerly Duc de Duras, was a frigate in the Continental Navy. She was originally an East Indiaman, a merchant ship built in France for the French East India Company in 1775, for service between France and the Orient. She was given to commander John Paul Jones on 4 February 1779 by King Louis XVI of France as a result of a loan to the United States. On 23 September 1779 after a bitter engagement with the HMS Serapis the USS Bon Homme Richard was victorious but shattered, on fire and leaking badly defied all efforts to save her and sank at 11:00 on 25 September 1779. Display stand, 14 crew figures, molded rat lines and sails. Black thread and jute for rigging plus chain. Molded in dark brown, black, tan and cream.
