In 1803, Portlanders fought off a Naval press gang of twenty-nine men, armed with muskets and bayonets, pistols and cutlasses, in what is now known as the Easton Massacre. A Royal Charter of 1453 had freed Portlanders for ever from Admiralty jurisdiction, and the Islanders knew that the Navy had no right to impress men on the Island.
