Project Name The Vessels Lost in RI during the Revolutionary War - Part I
Project URL https://www.rimap.org/the-other-vessels
Project Description RIMAP’s early studies of the ships lost in local waters during the American Revolution included preliminary studies of HMS Lark, Cerberus, and Orpheus, three of the four Royal Navy frigates intentionally destroyed along the western shore of Aquidneck Island on August 5, 1778. Sonar searches to find HMS Juno in Coddington Cove were not successful, but the sub-bottom survey suggested the presence of one ship that was not confirmed, and that could be one of two British transport/victuallers that were also lost there at the same time. The RIMAP partners for these studies were the US Navy and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. The Office of Naval Research and NOAA sponsored a special remote sensing demonstration that featured RIMAP’s work on these Royal Navy sites, and their video was titled “Partnerships Run Deep.” On the advice of the SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) coordinates are redacted.
