Description

This 18×24 inch map highlights Rhode Island shipwrecks from the American War of Independence (1775-83) to the Second World War (1939-45) and beyond. Most wrecks were caused by pilot error in low-visibility conditions, most notably the Larchmont Disaster (1907). Others, such as the HMS Liberty (1769), were sunk deliberately by an angry mob, leading to the Boston Massacre. In 2025, the HMS Endeavour (1778), a ship used by Captain James Cook, was discovered to be resting on the floor of the Narragansett Bay.
