Description
Wexford born John Barry fled the Penal Laws as a cabin boy aboard his uncle’s ship. At 15 he sailed to Philadelphia. When the 13 colonies declared independence, Barry captured the first British Navy ship for the Americans, rescued vital supplies of gunpowder and led a stealth mission to resupply George Washington’s starving army at Valley Forge.
