An important map with no attribution but possibly by William Faden. An overlay shows the positions of the British forces on September 28th and 29th some two weeks prior to the surrender. The main map shows the British forces trapped in York itself and the redoubts and batteries set up by the American and French forces. The Charon is shown in flames in York harbor and French ships sit off Gloucester. The bulk of the French fleet is not shown, but blockaded the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, trapping the British army who then surrendered ending the American Revolutionary War. Submap: Overlay, showing British positions on Sept 28-29.. Prime meridian: Gm. Relief: shaded, hachures. Graphic Scale: Feet. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Copper engraving.
