The Battle of Chelsea Creek is also known as a combination of the Battle of Noddle"s Island and Battle of Hog Island. This battle was the second military engagement of the Boston campaign of the American Revolutionary War. It was fought on May 27 and May 28, 1775 near Boston on Chelsea Creek and on nearby salt marshes, mudflats, and islands of Boston Harbor. Most of these areas have since been united with the mainland by land reclamation and are now part of East Boston, Chelsea, and Revere. The British colonists met their goal of strengthening the siege of Boston by removing the British regular"s livestock resources on the islands. The British armed schooner Diana was also destroyed and its weaponry was appropriated by the Colonial side. This was the first naval capture of the war.
