SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINALNEWSPAPER,theBoston WeeklyMessenger(MA) datedAug 19, 1814.This original newspaper contains an inside page headline: \"ATTACK ON STONINGTON\" (Connecticut) with a full column report of British warships attacking the town of STONINGTON, Connecticut.

Stonington is a borough and the town center of Stonington, Connecticut, referred to by locals as \"The Borough\". The densely built Borough of Stonington occupies a point of land that projects into Little Narragansett Bay.

A damaging attack occurred between August 9 and 12, 1814 during the War of 1812. The British vessels HMS Ramillies, HMS Pactolus, HMS Dispatch, and HMS Terror appeared offshore on August 9, 1814 under the command of Sir Thomas Hardy. The British demanded immediate surrender, but Stonington\'s citizens replied with a note that stated, \"We shall defend the place to the last extremity; should it be destroyed, we shall perish in its ruins.\" The Royal Navy pounded the town for three days, but the only fatality was that of an elderly woman who was mortally ill. They sailed off on August 12 after suffering many dead and wounded.
