The Gaspee Affair of 1772
While overshadowed by the Boston Tea Party, the 1772 Gaspee Affair can be seen as the beginning of the events that led up to the battles of Lexington and Concord. The History Guy recalls the little remembered conflict between the Colony of Rhode Island and the Royal Navy that predated "The Shot Heard Around the World," by more than a decade.

8 Bells Lecture | Steven Park: The Burning of His Majesty's Schooner Gaspee
Steven Park, "The Burning of His Majesty's Schooner Gaspee: An Attack on Crown Rule Before the American Revolution," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, Dec. 1, 2016.
This standard view of the destruction of HMS Gaspee in 1772 is essentially true, but is an oversimplification of what was in reality a complex and intriguing story, a critical part of the legal and political machinations on both sides of the Atlantic that resulted in the American Revolution. Steven Park examines the Gaspee affair more thoroughly than ever before, explaining not only the events on a fateful night in 1772, but the long series of political, legal and commercial activities that led to them. Also compelling is the detailed story of the legal proceedings that followed, which pitted an investigative...

The Burning of His Majesty's Schooner Gaspee | Steven Park
On June 9, 1772, a group of prominent Rhode Islanders rowed out to the British schooner Gaspee, which had run aground six miles south of Providence while on an anti-smuggling patrol. After threatening and shooting its commanding officer, the raiders looted the vessel and burned it to the waterline. Despite colony-wide sympathy for the raid, neither the government in Providence nor authorities in London could let this pass without a response. As a result, a Royal Commission of Inquiry headed by Rhode Island governor Joseph Wanton zealously investigated the incident. Historian Steven Park reveals that what started out as a customs battle over the seizure of a prominent citizen’s rum was soon transformed into one of the sparks that ignited patriot fervor in the years leading up to the Revolut...

Steven Park, "The Burning of His Majesty's Schooner Gaspee: An Attack on Crown Rule Before the American Revolution," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, Dec. 1, 2016.
This standard view of the destruction of HMS Gaspee in 1772 is essentially true, but is an oversimplification of what was in reality a complex and intriguing story, a critical part of the legal and political machinations on both sides of the Atlantic that resulted in the American Revolution. Steven Park examines the Gaspee affair more thoroughly than ever before, explaining not only the events on a fateful night in 1772, but the long series of political, legal and commercial activities that led to them. Also compelling is the detailed story of the legal proceedings that followed, which pitted an investigative commission hamstrung by procedural considerations against colonial officials determined to prevent any individual from being brought to trial. Most important, the author demonstrates the critical role that the burning of the Gaspee played in escalating the tensions that had been building for a decade. The Gaspee affair, seen by some as a minor outburst in an already-strained era, was turned into one of the biggest propaganda tools of the era. The destruction of this small ship had an impact that was unimagined when it occurred, leading citizens in throughout the colonies to embrace the spirit of resistance to Parliamentary rule. When the Gaspee was destroyed, so too was the possibility of a peaceful resolution to American colonial unrest.
Steven Park is the director of Academic Services at the University of Connecticut’s maritime campus where he teaches maritime studies. He received his PhD in history from the University of Connecticut, and his articles have appeared in a number of publications, including International Maritime History, American Neptune, Journal of the American Revolution, and Connecticut History Review.
