The largest combined infantry-naval operation undertaken by the American colonists during the Revolution met with disaster along this waterway. Two thousand colonials failed to capture Fort George at Castine, defended by a contingent of 750 British land troops, 3 sloops, and 4 transports. As they fled the site of their attack, the Americans burned or sank almost 40 of their own vessels as far north as the City of Bangor.
