War amid the fog and flood tides of Narragansett Bay
A dramatic reconstruction describes American and invading forces clashing as fog swallows the coast. Navy guns lob heavy fire while aerial scouts and mine sweeps test defenses. Coastal batteries, shore batteries, and transports struggle through a brutal night of countermining and bombardment. The piece notes ammunition shortages, recruitment surges, and a battlefield where both sides push to seize strategic advantage along Rhode Island and surrounding waters.
