Battle of Fort Washington, 1776

A topographical map of the north part of New York Island, showing the Plan of Fort Washington, now Fort Knyphausen by Claude Joseph Sauthier. November 16th, 1776. Four attacks are depicted as follows: A) first attack under General Knyphausen, B) second Attack by the 1st and 2nd battle of light infantry and Battle of Guards, C) third attack intended as a feint by the 42nd Regime, D) fourth attack by one Brigade of British and one of Hessians. The Battle of Fort Washington was a battle fought in New York on November 16, 1776 during the American Revolutionary War between the United States and Great Britain. It was a British victory that gained the surrender of the remnant of the garrison of Fort Washington near the north end of Manhattan Island. General William Howe led an assault from three sides: the north, east and south. Tides in the Harlem River prevented some troops from landing and delayed the attack. When the British moved against the defenses, the southern and western American defenses fell quickly. Patriot forces on the north side offered stiff resistance to the Hessian attack, but they too were eventually overwhelmed. With the fort surrounded by land and sea, Colonel Magaw chose to surrender. A total of 59 Americans were killed and 2,837 were taken as prisoners of war.
