My "namesake" was in a boat that rowed right under the guns of this ship in Boston Harbor on the way to Charlestown to pick up his borrowed horse the night of his famous ride. Legend has it that the oars were muffled by wrapping a patriotic lady's petticoats around them.

Warship Paul Revere Eluded Resurfaces On Cape PROVINCETOWN (AP)
The wreck of the British warship that Paul Revere eluded at the start of his famous ride has resurfaced in Cape Cod's shifting sands.
About a dozen timbers from the HMS Somerset III were spotted on a Provincetown beach after erosion from recent storms.
Cape Cod National Seashore historian William Burke tells The Boston Globe it's been at least 37 years since any part of the Somerset was seen.
Federal park officials are seizing the moment by using three-dimensional imaging technology to "digitally preserve" the wreck's visible portions.
Burke said the rest of the ship might deteriorate if excavated.
Revere slipped past the Somerset, and its 400-member crew, before beginning his ride in 1775.
The ship sank off the Cape in November 1778.
Most of the crew survived and were exchanged for American prisoners.
