The USS Philadelphia was a 1240-ton, 36-gun sailing frigate of the United States Navy which was sent to Tripoli in the First Barbary War. On October 31, 1803, she ran aground on an uncharted reef off Tripoli Harbor. Under fire from shore batteries and Tripolitan gunboats, Captain Bambridge had to surrender the crew and the ship, which was a far better vessel than any which the Barbary Pirates sailed. President Jefferson and the naval authorities believed that the Philadelphia should not be allowed to be repaired and serve Tripoli. Under the guise of a ship in distress in need of a place to tie up after having lost all anchors in a storm, on February 16, 1804 a volunteer assaulting party of officers and men under Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, Jr. boarded her from the ketch Intrepid and after making sure that she was not seaworthy burned her where she lay in Tripoli Harbor amidst the Tripolitan naval fleet, returned the Intrepid and escaped denying the enemy the use of a modern warship.
