  • How Narragansett Bay Shaped Rhode Island
    How Narragansett Bay Shaped Rhode Island For the Summer 2008 issue of Rhode Island History, former director of the Naval War College Museum, Anthony S. Nicolosi, contributed the article, “Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, U.S.N, and the Coming of the Navy to Narragansett Bay.” While the article may prove too specialized to directly translate into your classroom, the themes and topics raised within the piece can fit easily into your lesson plans. We have created a handful of activities for your classes based on the role that Narragansett Bay has played in creating the Rhode Island in which we now live. The first activity is an easy map exercise. We have suggested a link to a user-friendly map, but if you have one that you prefer, please go ahead and use it! The goal of this activity is to get your students thinking about the geography of the state so that they can achieve a heightened visual sense of the bay—to help them understand its fundamental role in our development. The next exercise, which is more advanced, asks the students to do research into the various conflicts into which this country has entered. It then asks them, in groups, to deduce what types of ships, weapons, battles and people played a part in each of these wars, and of course, how they relate to Narragansett Bay. We hope that your students will approach the end result creatively by styling their charts after maritime signal “flags.” Exploring the Ocean State Rhode Island is the smallest state, measuring forty-eight miles from North to South and thirty-seven miles from east to west.

PRESTON AND ROUNDS 1896 PREFACE. THE history of the Revolutionary De- fences in Rhode Island has occupied my leisure time at irregular intervals for several years past. Some of the earlier results of my study of the subject were embodied in a paper which I read before the Rhode Island His- torical Society on January 26, 1886, entitled, "Fortifications in and around Providence," and which was subsequently printed in the Narragansett Historical Register, No. 3, Vol. V. From this paper I have drawn largely for the material relating to the ac- count of the Providence defences; but I have now added much that was then to me unknown, and have corrected errors then made.
