On this day in 1778, John Paul Jones led a raid on the port at Whitehaven, England. With just 30 men he captured one of the two forts defending the town and set fire to it. This was but one of his daring engagements during the Revolutionary War. Nearly 18 months later he would fight a naval battle against the HMS Serapis, a 50-gun British warship. During that engagement he gave his most famous line, "I have not yet begun to fight!." A few hours later the Serapis surrendered. Jones is buried in a crypt under the chapel at the Annapolis Naval Academy.
