Mowatt burned Falmouth, October 18th, 1775. Captain Mowatt had been held prisoner by the residents of Falmouth for one night in May of 1775. Under orders from Admiral Graves (The same man who made Brithish troops under the command of Col. Smith wait for several hours at Phips farm before heading off to Concord, giving locals time to muster an armed resistance.) Mowatt was to burn port towns in New England as retribution for British losses at Lexington and Concord and also at Bunker Hill. (Graves burned Charlestown during Bunker Hill) Mowatt remembered his differences with the people of Falmouth and returned.
