American Revolution. Siege of Yorktown, Oct. 6-18, 1781. Artillery battery mortars (lower right) shell British fortifications and ships in the harbor. In the middle distance are ranks of troops. At this final stage of the siege, on October 16, Cornwallis attempted to evacuate his troops across the York River to Gloucester Point. From there he hoped to break through the allied lines, march into Virginia and then escape to British occupied New York. One wave of boats made it across but a squall hit making the evacuation impossible. The following day, the British asked for capitulation terms
