I was looking for pictures of Thomas Macdonough that I never seen before. If this really is at the museum of Plattsburgh then I have to look at it with my own two eyes in person!

I couldn’t find Charles Stewart so he’s replaced by John Shaw who technically isn’t a “Preble’s Boy”. (I think John Shaw was hanging out with pirates at the New Orleans navy station at the time of the first Barbary War.)
