85k | Daniel Frazier was born as James North in Dorchester County, Md., and entered the Navy as a seaman in 1802. Serving in the Mediterranean during the war with Tripoli, he took part in Stephen Decatur's immortal foray into Tripoli Harbor to destroy the captured Philadelphia, and was again with Decatur in the attack on Tripoli 3 August 1804. He was severely wounded in the gunboat attack, and is believed by many to have received these wounds while protecting Decatur with his own body. It is not clear whether he or Reuben James was the brave seaman who thus saved his commander's life. He died in New York City about 22 April 1833.

It depicts USS Philadelphia, previously captured by the Tripolitans, ablaze after she was boarded and set afire by a party from the ketch Intrepid led by Lieutenant Stephen Decatur.
