@hawkmoon419 Says:
Interesting video. I've become more interested in JPJ since learning that a cousin (many times removed), Nathaniel Kennard was a gunnery officer in that battle with the Serapis. He was captured 3 times (once paroled through the diplomacy of Ben Franklin) and later became one of the first officers of the US Revenue Cutter Service.
@coveredinash4787 Says:
I’m glad JPJ kept the hair from his naval conquests through to “The Song Remains the Same.
@robertalpy Says:
His tomb is fit for a king. No president is buried so lavishly. A bit much for a commodore in action but only a captain in rank.

I thought that this meant John Paul Jones the Led Zeppelin bassist:(

@caledoniantours220 Says:
'Heid banger' is the Scottish term for him. Must have had a terrible childhood. I thought he anchored at Kirkaldy, not Leith. There, the minister called out the congregation and prayed to God to spare them from the pirate. A storm blew up, and Jones was blown out to sea.

@owwffenham3315 Says:
“In April 1789, Jones was accused of raping a 10-year-old girl named Katerina Stepanova.[36] She testified to the police that she had been summoned to his apartment to sell him butter, when he punched her in the face, gagged her with a white handkerchief, and vaginally penetrated her; a regimental surgeon and a midwife both examined her and found evidence to substantiate these physical and sexual assaults.[37] There had been a delay on one day in reporting the rape, which meant the case would ordinarily not continue, due to Russian statutory codes considering any such delay evidence of consent, but Catherine intervened directly to allow the legal proceedings to continue.[38]
Jones responded to the allegations by claiming that he had paid the girl for sex several times, denying that he had deprived her of her virginity, and suggesting she was older than 10.[39] However, Jones would later change his story and claim the accusation was entirely false, stemming from the supposed desire of Katerina's mother, Sophia Fyodorovna, to gain financially from a prominent man”
@decisionduck5729 Says:
From Morison's John Paul Jones: A Sailor's Biography:
"During the first week of April 1789, all St. Petersburg was startled, amused, or outraged by a report of the chief of police that Rear Admiral Paul Jones had attempted to r**e a ten-year-old girl named Katerina, daughter of a German immigrant named Goltzwart or Koltzwarthen, who had a dairy business in a nearby suburb."
article by Jacob Bell “Я Тоже:” The Rape of Katerina Stepanova and John Paul Jones’ Russian Legacy which takes the view that it wasn't a setup by his political enemies at all, and that Catherine the Great took a personal interest in the case:
The facts of the case are not unfamiliar—a man with connections and power took advantage of a woman lacking both. Jones was a man in a powerful position, a war hero decorated by three nations and a Rear Admiral of the Russian Imperial Navy, close to both Potemkin and, by his own account, the Empress. In terms of social and economic status, Katerina Stepanova lacked agency. Jones held all the power in their relationship. Katerina Stepanova was poor and needed money; Jones had capital, evidenced by his overpaying for the butter he purchased. Ultimately, Jones used his position to exploit the young girl. He took her into his chambers on the pretext of buying butter and raped her, reminding her of his power over her by threatening to kill her should she talk.
Earlier he mentions:
Catherine’s address to Grimm proved the continuation of her belief that the rape allegation colored Jones’ entire Russian service—no battlefield glory, real or imagined, nor his desire to serve Russia outweighed the fact that he raped a girl. The refusal of Russian sailors to serve with Jones suggests that other Russians shared Catherine’s opinions on rape and those guilty of it. Catherine succinctly summed up her lingering opinion of Jones in another letter to Grimm. Following Jones’ death in 1792, Catherine wrote “This Paul Jones was a horrible person, much dignified among despicable persons.”
