Izard volunteered and took part in the expedition under Stephen Decatur, commanding U.S. ketch Intrepid, which entered the harbor of Tripoli 16 February 1804 and destroyed the former U.S. frigate Philadelphia in what Lord Nelson called the most daring act of the age. He was assigned duty under Lt. Decatur, with Midshipman John Rowe and 15 men, to hold the spar deck. He also took part in the attacks on Tripoli during August and September 1804 as part of Commodore Edward Preble's squadron. Lt. Izard died 21 January 1822 at Charleston, S.C. | Bill Gonyo | |
