On this day in 1777,
Maj. Gen. John Burgoyne’s British navy shoot their way through the port defenses at the site where small US Naval ships were assembled for the Lake Champlain campaign. American defenders attempt to destroy their poorly maintained fortifications and depart for Fort Anne to the south. A small party pursues the fleeing rebels and the remainder awaited the arrival of Burgoyne at the Battle of Skenesborough.
