The Battle of the Chesapeake in 1781

The Chesapeake Bay is a large bay running along the coast of Virginia and Maryland in the United States.

History[edit | edit source]

The bay was the site of the first permanent British settlement in North America, Jamestown, which was established in 1607.[1]

Later, during the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of the Chesapeake occurred in the bay. During the battle, the French Navy were assisted by the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton, who captained a ship, the Aquila, and helped defeat the British fleet.[2]

After the loss of the battle, British admiral Thomas Graves retreated back to New York City.[3]
