The Burning of Falmouth (October 18, 1775) was an attack by a fleet of Royal Navy vessels on the town of Falmouth, Massachusetts (site of the modern city of Portland, Maine, and not to be confused with the modern towns of Falmouth, Massachusetts or Falmouth, Maine). The fleet was commanded by Captain Henry Mowat. The attack began with a naval bombardment which included incendiary shot, followed by a landing party meant to complete the town's destruction. The attack was the only major event in what was supposed to be a campaign of retaliation against ports that supported Patriot activities in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War.

rdfs:comment	ファルマス焼き討ち（英: Burning of Falmouth）は、アメリカ独立戦争の始まった1775年10月に、イギリス海軍の艦隊が、マサチューセッツ湾植民地ファルマスの町（現在のメイン州ポートランドであり、現在あるマサチューセッツ州ファルマスやメイン州のファルマスとは異なる）に対して加えた攻撃である。この艦隊はイギリス海軍の海軍大佐ヘンリー・モワットが指揮した。攻撃は艦船から焼夷弾を含む艦砲射撃で始まり、続いて部隊が上陸して町の完全な破壊を行った。この攻撃は植民地側愛国者の活動を支援する港に対して続いた戦争初期の報復行動とされるものの中で、唯一大きなものになった。この攻撃の報せを受けた植民地の中では、イギリスの権威に対する拒否反応が起こり、独立政府の樹立に繋がっていった。また海上をイギリス海軍が支配する構造に対抗するために、第二次大陸会議が大陸海軍の結成を決断することになった。モワットと彼に遠征を命じた上官のサミュエル・グレイブス海軍中将はこの結果として軍歴に傷が付くことになった。 (ja) 法爾茅斯焚城（英語：Burning of Falmouth）是美國獨立戰爭波士頓之圍期間的一次英軍報復行動，發生於1775年10月18日麻薩諸塞州法爾茅斯（今緬因州波特蘭）。《強制法案》公佈後，美州殖民地與英國的關係急轉即下，到列星頓和康科德戰役後更陷入戰爭。由於波士頓在陸路被民兵包圍，殖民政府必須到其他海港殖民地補給。然而這些海港時有抗拒甚至攻擊英軍艦隻，令皇家英國海軍決意報復。1775年7月波士頓海軍中將（Samuel Graves）下令派艦到沿海城市報復，行動在10月由（Henry Mowat）上校指揮。莫沃特帶著5艘軍艦出發，最後選擇先到法爾茅斯。法爾茅斯在5月曾爆發保皇黨與反叛者的衝突，而莫沃特期間一度被民兵俘虜。10月16日莫沃特抵達法爾茅斯，要求全鎮市民向英皇宣誓效忠，否則開炮予以懲罰。法爾茅斯市民最終選擇逃離，而莫沃特則在18日開火，使全市大面積焚燬。法爾茅斯焚城事件，促使設立應付。首兩艘軍艦在10月30日獲議會批准服役。至於英國政府本身並不認可焚城的報復方法，相近事件日後鮮有重覆，而莫沃特也多次不獲晉升。 (zh) La crema de Falmouth fou un atac perpetrat per una flota de bucs de la Royal Navy a la ciutat de Falmouth, a Massachusetts (lloc de l'actual ciutat de Portland, a Maine), el 18 d'octubre de 1775. La flota era comandada pel capità Henry Mowat. L'atac va començar amb un bombardeig naval que va incloure un tir incendiari, seguit d'un desembarcament destinat a completar la destrucció de la ciutat. L'atac va ser l'únic gran esdeveniment del que se suposava que era una campanya de represàlia contra ports que havien donat suport a les activitats dels patriotes durant les primeres etapes de la Guerra d'Independència dels Estats Units.

Нападение началось с бомбардировки, включая применение зажигательных снарядов, затем последовал десант для полного уничтожения города. Рейд был единственным крупным событием в задуманной кампании возмездия против портов, которые поддерживали деятельность патриотов на ранних стадиях революционной войны. (ru)
