At the outset of 1776, Continental Marines under the command of Capt. Samuel Nicholas carried out the first amphibious landing in the history of the newly formed corps of Marines during the Battle of Nassau. Leading approximately 200 Marines and Sailors ashore, Nicholas seized key British positions and secured valuable weapons, munitions, and other military supplies. The operation not only strengthened the Continental war effort, and boosted morale, but also demonstrated that the young Nation possessed both the resolve and the capability to carry the fight for independence beyond its shores.
