A plan of the Narrows of Hells-gate in the East River


Above we show a remarkable map of A plan of the Narrows of Hells-gate in the East River, near which batteries of cannon and mortars were erected on Long Island with a view to take off the defences and make breaches in the rebel fort on the opposite shore to facilitate a landing of troops on New York Island. Drawn by Chals. Blaskowitz. It was created in 1776. Fortification. We have compiled this collection of pictures primarily to serve as a valuable educational resource.
