Title
Capt. Sterrett in the Sch. ENTERPRISE paying tribute to Tripoli (vessel), August 1801
Description
Enterprise's first action came on 1 August 1801 when, just west of Malta, she defeated the 14-gun Tripolitan corsair Tripoli, after a fierce but one-sided battle. Unscathed, Enterprise sent the battered pirate into port since the schooner's orders prohibited taking prizes.
