About This Design

Commodore Stephen Decatur Postcard

Commodore Stephen Decatur Postcard

Stephen Decatur was a celebrated American naval officer. Born in 1779 in Maryland, Decatur began his naval career at a young age, enlisting as a midshipman at just 17. He gained recognition for his daring actions in the First Barbary War, particularly for his leadership during the daring raid on the captured U.S. frigate USS Philadelphia in Tripoli Harbour. Decatur's success in burning the Philadelphia to prevent its use by the enemy earned him widespread acclaim and the promotion to the rank of captain at the age of 25, making him the youngest captain in American history at the time. Decatur's career continued to flourish during the War of 1812, where he achieved further renown for his naval victories, including the capture of HMS Macedonian and the USS President. His heroic actions in these battles solidified his reputation as one of America's most skilled naval commanders. Tragically, Decatur's life was cut short at the age of 41 when he died in a duel with fellow naval officer James Barron in 1820. Despite his untimely death, Stephen Decatur's legacy endures as a symbol of American naval valour and his unwavering dedication to the defence of his nation's interests on the high seas.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for. I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording. Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
