Jorge Farragut (Ciudadela, Minorca, baptized September 30th, 1755 – Point Plaguet, Pascaboula, Mississippi, June 4th, 1817) was a Navy officer born in Minorca, Spain who fought for the United States on both land and sea in the American Revolutionary War.
Jorge (anglicized as "George") Farragut left Spain as a young man to join the merchant marine. He commanded a small vessel that traded goods between Havana, Veracruz, and New Orleans. He joined his new country at the beginning of the American Revolution, initially as a lieutenant in the South Carolina Navy. He fought the British at Savannah and was captured in Charleston in 1780. After being released in a prisoner exchange, he fought as a volunteer at the Battle of Cowpens and Wilmington.
George Farragut married Elizabeth Shine (b.1765), and their son, David Farragut, had a long and distinguished career as a United States Navy Admiral.
