About Us

In June of 1772 brave colonists from Rhode Island burned the British revenue schooner, HMS Gaspee, during what has become recognized as the first bloodshed of the American Revolution. Since 1965, the Gaspee Days Committee has commemorated this act with its annual celebration finding new ways to engage the community and promote awareness of Rhode Island's place in American history.
