Statements About Barry Corrected.
To tie Editor of The Star

TO Tie Editor OF The Star:
Mr.. William E. Curtis, writing in The
Star December ). 1909, about the statues
of the nations capital, says, in part, Of
Cap. John Barry. as follows:
"A statue of Commodore John Barry
is to be erected Commodore Bar
~ in 1776 was appointed to COM
mand the brig Lexington of sixteen guns.
This was the first Continental vessel to
sail from the port of Philadelphia With
it he made the first capture of British
war vessel in the revolution. His serv-
ice was continuous and important When
independence was accomplished. he was
senior officer of the United States navy"
In that brief statement five errors
of history, and one assertion, the accur-
acy of which is questionable They are:
%. That as to Barry being "A com
modore. because he never was a commo-
dore The official title of commodore did
not exist in Barry's time. Barry's high
est official title was captain co. That
as to the Lexington being the first CON
tinental vessel to sail from the port of
Philadelphia. because Essex Hopkins flag
ship Alfred was the first to sail from
Philadelphia or any other port. She
sailed February II, 1T76 for the Bahama
Islands. The Lexington started soon aft
to have been in March. CO. That
Barry made the first capture of British
war vessel in the revolution. because
Esek Hopkins captured the first. On his
way to the Bahama Islands he captured
two small British sloopS OF war, carried
them into Abaco March 1, 1176 set sail
for America March IL. On the way, April
4. and 6. respectively. captured the
British Hawke, Bolton and tender of the
frigate Glasgow, the Hawke with twenty
six guns and the Bolton with twenty
guns and forty-eight men; and. on April
s. 1T76. carried all into New London.
three days before Capt. Barry took the
tender Edward into Philadelphia and all
captured before he captured the tender
Edward, his first, on April Z, 1916. a.
That as to his services being continuous.
because they were not, and 90. that he
was senior officer of the United States
navy when our independence was ac-
because Samuel Nicholson
was then first and Barry second captain
of the list.
was appointed to command the Licking
ton in 1915 is questionable. He was ap-
pointed a captain in the Continental navy
by Congress December Z, 1915, according
TO Griffin, his only historian; but the date
he was appointed to command the Lex
ington, assigned to her, is undeter-
mined and debatable. Some claim IL
was in IT'S, but there is no evidence OF
1t. The first naval officers first appointed
by Congress were those of the Alfred.
the first flagship of the first squadron
by the first and only Con-
gress, and officially appointed command
er-in-chief of the navy in the revolution.
Esek Hopkins. The Alfred was
not only the first differed ship. but the
first American warship ready for the
flag, the first TO sail and the first TO
show that flag on the high sea. All OF
which is historical fact.
