Product Details:
The Evacuation of Billingsport, 2 October 1777 by Colonel Charles H. Waterhouse depicts a dramatic episode during the American Revolution, as Continental Marines helped evacuate an American garrison from Fort Billingsport along the Delaware River in New Jersey. With approximately 1,500 British troops advancing on the vulnerable fort, Colonel William Bradford ordered the withdrawal of the American defenders to nearby Fort Mifflin in Pennsylvania. Continental Marine Lieutenants Dennis Leary and William Barney, serving aboard the brig Andrew Doria, directed the evacuation by boat, successfully transporting the men and much of their ammunition to safety. Before departing, the Americans spiked their cannons and set fire to the fort's buildings to prevent their use by the enemy. Waterhouse's painting captures the courage and resourcefulness of the Continental Marines during the Philadelphia Campaign of 1777, highlighting their important role in protecting America's early naval defenses.
