Joseph Israel entered the Navy as Midshipman 15 January 1801. He served in Maryland during the quasi-war with France and in Chesapeake, New York, and Constitution during operation in the Mediterranean against the Barbari pirates. Midshipman Israel was killed 4 September 1804 when ketch Intrepid exploded in the harbor of Tripoli during the valiant night effort to destroy the enemy shipping led by Lt. Somers. A monument to the memory of Israel and his fellow officers and men stands on the grounds of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. | Robert M. Cieri |
