Captain James Lawrence, USN
(1781-1813)

19th Century photograph of a portrait painted by Samuel Lovett Waldo in 1813, after Lawrence's command, USS Hornet, had captured HMS Peacock.
The original painting was owned by Rear Admiral Charles S. Boggs, USN, a descendant of Lawrence. It was lost in a fire that destroyed Boggs's home on Staten Island.

The photograph was donated by Julian Bowes during the 1930s or 1940s. It had previously been owned by James Lawrence Boggs, of Newark, New Jersey.
