Abraham Whipple
Abraham Whipple (September 26, 1733 – May 27, 1819) was an American revolutionary commander in the Continental Navy, and later one of the founders of Marietta, Ohio. Born near Providence, Rhode Island, Whipple chose to be a seafarer early in his life and embarked on a career in the lucrative West Indies trade, working for Moses and John Brown. In the French and Indian War period, he became a privateersman and commanded privateer ''Game Cock'' from 1759 to 1760. In one six-month cruise, he captured 23 French ships.
In 1772, Whipple sank the first British ship of the American Revolution, the British schooner Gaspee, in the Gaspee Affair. The first to unfurl the Star Spangled Banner in London, Whipple was also the first to sail an ocean-going ship 2000 miles downriver from Ohio to the Caribbean, which opened trade with the Northwest Territory.〔Hildreth, ''Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio'', 159–60.〕
