British Get Surprised at Craney Island-- Part 5

Captain Samuel Travis of the captured revenue cutter Surveyor was a prisoner on board a British ship and later reported that one shot from the Americans cut off of the feet and legs of almost one entire barge crew..  Another source lists British losses at 71.

The British fleet retired and never attacked Norfolk again.

There will be activities June 22-13 commemorating the American victory.  There will be tours and exhibits at Fort Norfolk as well as re-enactors, flag raising, patriotic music at High Street Landing and the pealing of church bells.
