dbo:abstract
  • The Massachusetts Naval Militia (at first called the Massachusetts Colonial Navy and later the Massachusetts State Navy), was a naval militia active during the American Revolutionary War. It was founded December 29, 1775, to defend the interests of Massachusetts during the war. The flotilla utilized 25 vessels over the course of the war, acting in various roles such as prison ships, dispatch vessels, and combat cruisers. Its most infamous engagement was the 1779 Penobscot Expedition, in which not only all of its vessels were destroyed, but also those of privateers hired to assist in the expedition. It was later activated for the War of 1812 and the Spanish–American War. As under 10 U.S. Code §7851 naval militias form part of the United States organized militia and therefore are considered as such, any action to reactivate one of the nation's historic naval militia forces falls either on the Governor of Massachusetts or by legislative action of the chambers of the Massachusetts General Court.

  • La Marine d'État du Massachusetts (d'abord appelée Marine Coloniale du Massachusetts) est une marine composée de miliciens durant la Guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis. Elle a été fondée le 29 décembre 1775, et elle défendait les intérêts du Massachusetts face aux forces britanniques. Cette force a utilisé 25 vaisseaux pendant la guerre, certains comme bâtiments de guerre, d'autres comme bateau-prison ou transport de courrier. À la différence de la plupart des autres états, la Marine d'État du Massachusetts n'a jamais été officiellement dissoute et s'est simplement incorporée dans l'United States Navy et ses navires ont gardé leur Pavillon Maritime.
