John Paul Jones
1747-1792
Born in Scotland, his dedication to independence and freedom for the United States and the world, and his fighting spirit, gave to the United States Navy its earliest traditions of courage, honor, and victory.
The Crypt was designed by Warren Whitney (1864-1943); the Sarcophagus and bronzes by Sylvain Salieres (1865-1918). Renovation of the Crypt made possible through the generous support of the Class of 1955. |
