Title: Commodore Robert Pierpont Foreshew, USN
Caption: As he appeared as a midshipman at the US Naval Academy, Annapolis Maryland, class of 1881. He was born in New York and was honorably discharged as a naval cadet on 30 June 1883, under an act of Congress of 5 August 1882, which was a result of no naval ships suitable for war and no need for officers to man them. Due to the Spanish-American War however, he was re-appointed to the rank of lieutenant on 22 June 1898. He was discharged as a lieutenant on 8 October 1898. He died on 10 December 1942.
