BART, JEAN (1651-1702)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 447 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BART, JEAN (1651-1702) , French naval
commander
 , son of a fisherman, was horn in Dunkirk on the 21st of October 1651. He served when
young
  in the Dutch navy, but when war broke out between Louis XIV. and Holland in 1672 he entered the French service. He gained
great
  distinction in the Mediterranean, where he held an irregular sort of commission, not being then able from his low
birth
  to receive a command in the navy. His success was so
great
 , however, that he was made a
lieutenant
  in 1679. He rose rapidly to the rank of captain and then to that of
admiral
 . The peace of Ryswick put a close to his active service. Many anecdotes are narrated of the courage and blunt ness of the uncultivated sailor, who became the popular hero
of the French naval service. The town of Dunkirk has honoured his memory by a statue and by naming a public square after him.
See Richer, Vie de
Jean
  Bart (1780), and many editions since; Vanderest, Histoire de
Jean
