From the rowboats of his childhood to the warships that won him fame as America's premier naval hero, the vessels of John Paul Jones are immortalised in this engaging book by the talented marine artist, writer, and ship historian William Gilkerson. Sixty of Gilkerson's oil paintings, watercolors, ink drawings, and pencil sketches are reproduced here and tied together with a lively text. A marvel of historical accuracy, the pictures are the result of a 20-year research project undertaken to solve the mysteries of the appearance of Jones's ships.
