Product Details:
Assault on Penobscot, 28 July 1779 by Colonel Charles H. Waterhouse depicts a daring amphibious assault by Continental Marines during the American Revolution at Penobscot Bay in present-day Maine. As part of an American expedition to dislodge British forces establishing a fortified naval base at Bagaduce, Captain John Welsh led more than 200 Marines, sailors, and militia ashore in an attack up a steep, heavily wooded bluff. The American landing force successfully drove back British defenders and secured a foothold on the peninsula, but a lack of coordinated leadership prevented the Americans from exploiting their initial success. The arrival of a powerful British naval squadron ultimately forced the American fleet to retreat, resulting in the destruction or capture of its vessels. Waterhouse's painting commemorates the courage and fighting spirit of the Continental Marines during one of the most significant naval expeditions of the Revolutionary War.
