Frigate X is now HMS Serapis







I've now finished the Serapis and I presented it to the Wheaton Barber shop in November of 2010. It sits up on a bookshelf near their door where everyone can see it. Rick and Bob Lopez, the primary owners tell me that everyone who sees it for the first time is impressed and want to know more about it. I gave the barber shop a complete history of the Serapis and how John Paul Jones captured it from the British in 1796 from his ship, the Bon Homme Richard. His famous quote "I've not yet begun to fight" is U.S. Naval legend.
