Hear the Remarkable Story of Richard Somers
2019-09-08 15:00 - 19:00 | Gregory’s Restaurant, 900 Shore Road, Somers Point, New Jersey, 08244
For more than 500 years, fanatic Muslim sea fighters of the Turkish Empire in North Africa attacked Christian ships and coastal towns as far away as Ireland. Millions of Europeans were captured and sold as slaves. Rich countries like England, France, and Holland paid bribes to get some of their people back.
America also paid those bribes. But in 1798, we had enough. We built a new navy to protect our people. Richard Somers of Somers Point was one of the first to join. In 1801, President Thomas Jefferson sent them overseas. Somers commanded one of those ships at age 23.
Those young Americans amazed and inspired the world with their skills and courage. They ended Islamic attacks on the West for almost 200 years. Their liberation of European slaves in North Africa intensified efforts to free African-American slaves in this country.
Richard Somers was killed during a daring mission in Tripoli on September 4, 1804.
Liberty and Prosperity will host a fundraising cash bar buffet on Sunday, September 8 after the Richard Somers Day Ceremony at Gregory’s Restaurant until 7 p.m.
Tickets are $35 each, or 2 for $60.

In case of rain, the memorial will be held in the Council Chambers of the Somers Point City Hall.
Richard Somers, born and raised in Somers Point, NJ, was a Captain in the US Navy. While in command of the US Navy ship, the Nautilus, Richard Somers was fighting against the Barbary Pirates in the Mediterranean. Under the command of Edward Preble, Captain Somers conceived a courageous plan. His plan was to fit up the ketch, Intrepid, as a fire ship and sail her into Tripoli Harbor and explode her amongst the enemy ships. The Intrepid was fitted with 1500 pounds of gunpowder, a quantity of shells, shot, broken iron, and combustibles. Knowing this mission could mean death, all men volunteered under Captain Somers. One the eve of September 3, 1804, the Intrepid, entered Tripoli Harbor. A sudden explosion was seen by Preble’s fleet outside the harbor. The Intrepid took fire sooner than intended, taking the lives of Captain Somers and all 12 of his crew members.
