EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pivotal moment in history - the TRIPOLITAN WAR of 1804. The image depicts the dramatic scene of the burning American frigate Philadelphia, captured by Commodore Stephen Decatur and his courageous crew in Tripoli harbor on the fateful night of February 16th, 1804.
