Marines Pay Grave Tribute To Revolutionary Navy Hero
Marines from Ohio and West Virginia will observe the 140th anniversary of Commodore Abraham Whipple’s death with a graveside ceremony at Mound Cemetery in Marietta. Lt. Col. Wayne Jordan will place a wreath, and an eight man Marine squad will fire a salute. Whipple, a Rhode Island naval hero, helped burn the Gaspee in 1772 and captured a British frigate in 1775, shaping early American naval daring. He moved to Ohio, helped found Marietta, and died May 29, 1819.
