Informations supplémentaires

Stephen Decatur was an American naval officer. He distinguished himself in the Barbary Wars and in the War of 1812. During the Barbary Wars, the U.S. frigate Philadelphia was taken by the Barbary pirates in 1803. Decatur (on ground in this engraving) and boatswain mate Reuben James (above Decatur to right) and other volunteers boarded the frigate in the harbor of Tripoli, under cover of night Philadelphia, intending to burn it so pirates would not have it. They encountered pirates. Decatur was wounded ( pictured here) and James placed himself between pirate and Decatur, thereby saving Decatur's life. James was wounded but survived, as did Decatur. The engraving was done in 1858 by Alonzo Chapell.
