The Battle of Valcour Island

On this day in 1776,

Relentless in their pursuit, Arnold, after having been chased from Valcour Island, must scuttle the remains of his 15 ship fleet and escort the remaining survivors to Ft. Ticonderoga at the very southern tip of Lake Champlain.

The British are left to cool their heels for the winter having been frustrated at the Battle of Valcour Island.
