The Penobscot Expedition was an American disaster of the American War of Independence. In 1779 about 900 men were sent out from Boston against a British post on the Penobscot. A combined land and naval attack was planned. The land force debarked and assaulted the fort. Owing to disagreement between the commanders, the marines did not support them, and a British fleet now appearing on the scene forced all assailants to retire. The entire affair was a complete shambles. The commander, Saltonstall, and the generals, Lowell and Wadsworth, were publicly censured.
