14 März 1776 Jahr - Naval Engagement at Sandy Point

Beschreibung:

On March 14, a couple of South Carolina tenders were sailing up river at Sandy Point when they encountered a small Loyalist ship coming down the river with a cargo of flour. The Loyalists quickly ran their ship aground and fled. The tenders stayed with the ship, trying to work it loose. The Tories regrouped and opened fire on the tenders. They fired back at the Tories. When the tide came in, the tenders were able to work free the Loyalist ship and carried it downstream to Charles Town.
