A merchant ship named the Duc de Duras had been converted to a forty gun man of war. Ben Franklin managed to persuade the French to secure the ship for the command of John Paul Jones who promptly renamed it the Bon Homme Richard after Ben Franklin. The French corrected the grammar however not wanting to have that impact on the magic of their language. They set the Bonhomme Richard off to probe for prey along the Channel Islands. The ship presented a quite snappy sight. http://modelshipbuilder.com/page.php?37
