| No Photo Available | - | Edward Stack was born on 26 April 1756 in Kealand, County Kerry, Ireland. He was appointed 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps by John Paul Jones on 4 February 1779. Stack commanded the division in the main top of Bon Homme Richard during her battle with Serapis on 23 September 1779. Fire superiority aloft enabled the Americans to drive the British from their tops and harass them on deck. A grenade thrown from the tops fired a chain of ammunition on Serapis and caused a severe explosion which was a principal factor in her surrender. In his report of the action, Jones commended Stack for his great bravery. Lt. Stack remained in United States service until 1780. He died at Calais, France, in December 1833. | Robert M. Cieri | |
