Parrot mascot fights with ship in wartime scene

A vivid account from the era describes Jack the Ripper the fighting parrot aboard the torpedo boat Winslow. The bird salutes officers and bellows war cries as shells burst around the ship, later aiding the crew's resolve before the vessel is damaged and men are killed.
