The Burning of Falmouth
Update: 2025-10-25
Description
On October 18, 1775, the coastal town of Falmouth, Massachusetts (present-day Portland, Maine) became the site of one of the most devastating British attacks during the early stages of the American Revolution. The bombardment and subsequent burning of this prosperous seaport marked a turning point in colonial sentiment, transforming reluctant revolutionaries into committed patriots and demonstrating the British government's willingness to wage total war against its own subjects.
