JPJ was a heck of good sailing captain, who truly knew how to fight a ship of his time.
personally, he was a bit of a self-promoting prat. there is not enough fame in the world for him to acquire.

still....he was a heck of a skipper.

if you ever make it over to the States, you must visit the Naval Academy in Annapolis. JPJ is buried in a crypt below the chapel.
