In June of 1772, brave colonists from RI burned the British revenue schooner, HMS Gaspee, in what has become recognized as the first overt action leading to the American Revolutionary War. Celebrate with a re-creation, of sorts, of the fireworks that went off when the ship’s powder magazine caught fire.
