That's impressive, especially since Washington died in 1799, 32 years earlier.
He truly was a great man.
During the American Insurrection, Midshipman Prince William Henry was stationed in New York.
His experiences in the navy seem to have been little different from those of other midshipmen (though a tutor accompanied him on board ship) doing his share of the cooking[8] and getting arrested with his shipmates after a drunken brawl on Gibraltar (he was hastily released when his identity became known).[9]
He served in New York during the American War of Independence. While the prince was in America, George Washington approved a plot to kidnap him, writing "The spirit of enterprise so conspicuous in your plan for surprising in their quarters and bringing off the Prince William Henry and Admiral Digby merits applause; and you have my authority to make the attempt in any manner, and at such a time, as your judgment may direct. I am fully persuaded, that it is unnecessary to caution you against offering insult or indignity to the persons of the Prince or Admiral..."[10][11]
The plot did not come to fruition; the British heard of it and assigned guards to the prince, who had up till then walked around New York unescorted.[12]
