Abstract
Overshadowed by the iconic battles at Lexington/Concord and Bunker Hill, the Battle of Chelsea Creek (27-28 May 1775) is notable for being the provincials’ first coordinated offensive gesture. Moving to interdict livestock and supplies from the besieged British garrison in Boston, they entered into a running engagement with British marines, eventually capturing and destroying the British schooner HMS Diana.
