In 1803, at age 25, Somers was given the task of converting a merchant ship into the warship Nautilus with 12 cannons. He was then put in command of that ship and its crew of 103 men and sent to the Mediterranean Sea. There they fought "Barbary Pirates" who were attacking and capturing American merchants and sailors, and selling them as slaves.
On the night of September 4, 1804, Richard Somers and a crew of 12 sailed a small ship named&nbsp;Intrepid into the harbor in Tripoli. The ship was packed with explosives. Their plan was to destroy the "Turkish flotilla" there...
