John Paul Jones' Lost Body:How He Was Finally Found

Scott and Jenn recount Commodore John Paul Jones’s rise from a Scottish sailor who began at sea at 13 to a celebrated Continental Navy officer known for taking the fight to Britain, including the 1779 Bonhomme Richard battle with HMS Serapis that produced his famous refusal to surrender. They follow the 1905–1906 detective effort to locate his remains under a paved-over Paris cemetery, their identification, Theodore Roosevelt’s battleship-escorted return to the U.S., and his 1913 reinterment in a sarcophagus beneath the Naval Academy Chapel crypt in Annapolis. 📍 Visit this location: https://www.historyordrive.com/poi/786 00:00 I Have Not Yet Begun 00:55 Welcome 02:04 Reviews 03:02 Annapolis Crypt Visit 05:23 Early Life At Sea 09:48 Becoming John Paul Jones 12:44 Continental Navy Rise 14:17 Privateer Or Pirate? 18:05 Serapis Legendary Battle 21:00 Russia Scandal Exile 24:42 Death And Lost Grave 26:37 Finding John Paul Jones 31:11 Crypt Legacy 33:06 Final Reflection 📍 Try our History Travel app!!
