	`TEXT:`
/LP,/TX	`Amid the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the USS Constitution's`
	`first sail, tribute will be paid aboard the Argentine tall ship Libertad to`
	`a son of County Mayo who journeyed to Boston and then became a high seas`
	`warrior.`

	`Admiral William Brown remains a virtual unknown in the United States`
	`and Ireland, but in Argentina he is the nautical equivalent of George`
	`Washington - founder of the country's navy.`

/TX	`"He's just another example of the far-reaching effects of Irish`
	`emigrants, but his influence stretched far beyond America to South`
	`America," said Marian Trench, director for the Foxford Admiral Brown`
	`Society's project to create a museum and visitors' center in Brown's`
	`hometown of Foxford.`

	`Tomorrow night the ship - one of 18 tall ships that will salute "Old`
	`Ironsides" in Boston Harbor on Thursday - will host "An Irish Evening"`
	`including Irish and Argentine officials, Boston-area business leaders and`
	`academics.`

	`At some time this week, the society will present a bronze bust of Brown`
	`to Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino.`

	`A scrappy strategist who helped Argentina escape the rule of Spain and`
	`the threat of neighboring Brazil, Brown's statue stands in Buenos Aires.`

	`His house has been preserved as a museum and streets throughout the`
	`country bear his name.`

	`To the sailors aboard the Libertad, docked at Constitution Wharf,`
	`Brown's legacy carries on as Argentina's aspiring naval officers set out on`
	`the tall ship each year to become sailors and students of the sea.`
	`"He is a hero to us," said Javier Armando Valladares, second-in-command`
	`of the Libertad.`

	`"He came to Argentina to find a safe place to live but found himself`
	`fighting to help our country win its freedom," he said.`

	`Born in 1777, Brown arrived in Boston at age 9 with his father, Trench`
	`said.`

	`But his father succumbed to yellow fever, leaving Brown to fend for`
	`himself as a cabin boy on commercial ships.`

	`By 1809, Brown and his wife were in Argentina, where the Spanish`
	`stymied his efforts to capitalize on coastal trading.`
