The Commodore John Barry Gate, part of Barry Plaza, located at Prince George Street, was dedicated by the Ancient Order of Hibernians on January 6, 2012. John Barry (1745 –1803) was an Irish-born American naval officer who served at a captain in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War, and was the first commissioned American naval officer, receiving his rank of Commodore from President George Washington in 1797 and serving in the Quasi-War. He has been credited by some as "The Father of the American Navy", sharing that moniker with John Paul Jones and John Adams.
