Additional Features: The Tripoli pirates had finally managed to refloat Philadelphia. Americans believed that the warship was too great a prize to be allowed to remain in foreign hands, so the Navy decided to recapture or destroy it. After the United States had captured the Tripolitan ketch Mastico, it renamed her as Intrepid, but re-rigged the ship with short masts and triangular sails to look like a local ship. Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, son of USS Philadelphia's first captain, led a party of volunteers to carry out this task. On February 16, 1804, under the cover of night and in the guise of a ship in distress that had lost all anchors in a storm and needed a place to tie up, Decatur sailed Intrepid next to Philadelphia. The Americans boarded the prize and, after making sure that she was not seaworthy, burned the ship where she lay in Tripoli Harbor. Britain's Viscount Nelson is said to have called this feat "the most bold and daring act of the Age".Details: Please view photos of the item you are interested in.
