Seller's description

A funny Revolutionary War gift for sailors and navy families: the chibi storybook-watercolor Captain John Paul Jones of the Continental Navy, hugging a tall stack of red coats, says "Raided the King's closet. 10,000 winter coats."

A funny, cute Continental Navy gift for a sailor, a navy veteran, a navy family, a history teacher or anyone who is always cold in winter.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
In November 1776, off Cape Breton Island, Captain John Paul Jones of the Continental Navy captured the British transport Mellish, which was carrying about 10,000 winter uniforms meant for British troops in Canada. John Paul Jones called it the most valuable prize yet taken by the American side, and the warm clothing went to the rebels instead.
