of the Month - Lanterns as Colonial Alarm

On the night of April 18, 1775, as British troops prepared to leave Boston, Paul Revere arranged for a signal to be displayed from the tower of Christ Church (today known as Old North Church).

The lanterns served as a predetermined signal to the colonists across the Charles River:
One lantern - British troops were leaving Boston by land
Two lanterns - British troops were crossing the river by boat
Two lanterns were ultimately displayed.

The signal was intended to alert local networks in case Revere was unable to leave Boston and deliver the warning himself.
