25031historical_info = flavor_eng.242.historical_info The Gaspee was a British customs schooner tasked with enforcing trade regulations and preventing smuggling in the American colonies. During a routine mission, she gave chase to a smuggling ship and accidentally ran aground. Frustrated with current policies, several colonists decided to approach the vessel, engaged in a brief but intense firefight with the British crew, and finally set it ablaze.
