Polly Saved Liberty Pole Heroine of Martha's Vineyard
Polly Daggett, a Revolutionary heroine of Martha's Vineyard, became linked to the liberty-pole at Vineyard Haven.

Polly and two girls surprised the crew by placing powder and fire on the pole, causing it to topple into splinters. The shipmen blamed village boys, while Polly's bold act boosted patriot morale.
