Q7164016
The Pennsylvania State Navy was the state navy of Pennsylvania during the American Revolutionary War. It was founded on July 6, 1775, and spent most of its existence operating almost exclusively in the Delaware River. The state navy acquired dozens of vessels over the course of the war, many of which were 1-gun row galleys. Its most prominent engagement was the 1777 Philadelphia campaign, during the state navy unsuccessfully attempted to resist advancing British forces before being entirely destroyed. To protect Pennsylvanian merchantmen from British attacks, the state navy raised more ships. On April 10, 1783, the navy was disbanded when its last vessels were sold.
