Is there any reason (besides anglocentrism) that the American vessel is named and Swedish aren't? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.113.211.70 ( talk) 00:46, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
@Imonoz an end to a state of things harmful to his budding business. A treaty had therefore been signed and an American consul sent to Tripoli, which had also taken place for the other Barbary states; but in 1800 the peace had been broken, and the efforts of the consul-general of France were powerless to restore it. Hostilities between the Americans and the Regency lasted four years. During this time, the port of Tripoli was almost continuously blocked. Several attacks, led by Commodore Préble, caused more harm to the Americans than to their enemies. In the first, the assailants lost a frigate which ran aground on the rocks at the entrance to the port; three hundred men riding it fell into the power of the Barbarians, which made the re- establishment of peace more difficult because of the enormous claims which the pasha raised for their ransom. The Americans, seeing the lack of success of their attacks on Tripoli, negotiated with Sidi-Ahmed, the pasha's brother, who had seen himself driven from the throne and forced to take refuge in Egypt. The object of the Americans was to kindle civil war in the country and to defeat by this diversion the obstinacy of the African prince. This means succeeded: Sidi-Ahmed, supported by the troops of the Commodore, seized Derna, and his brother, frightened, hastened to conclude a treaty at Jamalie7 ( talk) 22:22, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
@Jamalie7 So, apparently, the instance which is described in your source, regarding the grounded frigate and the captured personnel, seemingly occurred in October 31, 1803 - so neither during this battle or the Second Battle of Tripoli Harbor. It was the American frigate USS Philadelphia (1799) which ran aground. This, according to National Museum of the U.S. Navy. The 300 losses should probably be removed from the Second Battle of Tripoli Harbor infobox. Information regarding the capture is already mentioned in the First Barbary War article.
