| Description | 330-PS-2667 (USN 708583): Navy Presents Bust of John Paul Jones to Congress. During a special ceremony in the East Lobby, Gallery Floor of the Senate Wing of the Capitol, Under Secretary of the Navy Francis P. Whitehair, (left), presented the U.S. Naval Academy’s Bust of John Paul Jones to Congress. United States Senator Theodore Francis Green, (right), of Rhode Island, accepted for Congress. Commander James W. McConnaughhay, USN, looks on. The presentation marks the 154th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of the Navy. The bust of the Navy’s first great hero for many years has been a treasured possession of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. It was cast in 1904 from an Houdon terra-cotta original, by the late Francis Davis Millet. The original was sent to Major General William Irvine in 1788 by John Paul Jones as a token of friendship. Jones was then in the service of Catherine the Great as a Rear Admiral in the Russian Navy. Jean Antoine Houdon was considered the most important sculptor of French Revolutionary and Napoleonic times. He did several statues of American Revolutionary heroes. Francis Davis Millet was an American artist, war correspondent, and author. He was lost on the Titanic in 1912. Photograph released April 30, 1952. (5/19/2015). |
