December 1774 CE

Stores of gunpowder—typically referred to by Loyalists as "the King's powder" but in contrast by Patriots as "the militia's powder”—are also carried off from forts in Newport, Rhode Island, Providence, Rhode Island, and New London, Connecticut, and distributed to the militias in towns away from the coast.

Cannon and other supplies are smuggled out of Boston and Charlestown.
