Product Details:

Flag Raising at New Providence, 28 January 1778 by Major Charles H. Waterhouse depicts the recapture of Fort Nassau on New Providence Island in the Bahamas by Continental Marines during the American Revolution. Under the command of Captain John Trevett, 26 Marines from the American sloop Providence, commanded by Captain John Peck Rathbun, landed under cover of darkness and quietly overpowered the fort's two-man British garrison. At daybreak on January 28, Trevett and his Marines raised the thirteen-star American flag over the fort, marking an important early display of the new nation's colors on foreign soil. The Americans subsequently captured three British vessels in the harbor before withdrawing with their prizes. Waterhouse's painting commemorates this daring expedition and the determination of the Continental Marines in carrying the American cause beyond the shores of the colonies.
