Biography

Born in 1844 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sapp later joined the Navy from that state. By December 15, 1871, he was serving as a seaman in the engineering department of the USS Shenandoah.[1] On that day, while the Shenandoah was at Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, he jumped overboard and, with Midshipman Miller, rescued Seaman Charles Prince from drowning.[1][2] For this action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor two months later, on February 8, 1872. His first name was misspelled as "Isacc" on the citation.[1]

Sapp's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

On board the U.S.S. Shenandoah during the rescue of a shipmate at Villefranche, 15 December 1871. Jumping overboard, Sapp gallantly assisted in saving Charles Prince, seaman, from drowning.[1]

Sapp died on August 18, 1913 (aged about 70) in Newport News, Virginia.[3] He is buried in the Hampton National Cemetery in Hampton, Virginia.
