The Battle of the Rice Boats was a battle of the American Revolutionary War that took place in the Savannah River on the border between the Province of Georgia and the Province of South Carolina. The battle, which pitted colonial Patriot militia against the Royal Navy, took place on March 2 and 3, 1776. It is sometimes referred to as the Battle of Yamacraw Bluff. In December 1775, the British army that was besieged in Boston, in need of provisions, organized a Royal Navy expedition to Georgia to purchase rice and other supplies. The arrival of this fleet prompted the colonial rebels who controlled the Georgia government to arrest the British Royal Governor, James Wright, and to resist the British attempt to seize and remove supply ships anchored at Savannah. Some of the supply ships were burned to prevent their seizure, and some were recaptured; two were successfully taken by the British.
