Along with the sailors of the crew of the last surviving frigate of the Continental Navy, they were paid off at Petuxet, Rhode Island. The vessel was converted to a cargo ship, which went aground and was abandoned - leaving the new nation without a Navy or Marines from 1783 to 1794.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrints of this painting were most popular gifts for retirements for a number of years. Close perusal will reveal character studies and also indicate many of these men's intentions for their ultimate disposal of this final pay call.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Excerpt from \u003ci\u003eMarines and Others: The Paintings of Colonel Charles Waterhouse USMCR (Ret)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47186088951957,"sku":"106780","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/1882\/1013\/files\/106780.jpg?v=1775484858","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookstore1775.com\/products\/mustering-out-by-charles-waterhouse","provider":"The Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
