David McCullough Quotes
Nothing Like It Had Ever Been Seen In New York. Housetops Were Covered With "gazers"; All Wharves That Offered A View Were Jammed With People. The Total British Armada Now At Anchor In A "long, Thick Cluster" Off Staten Island Numbered Nearly Four Hundred Ships Large And Small, Seventy-three Warships, Including Eight Ships Of The Line, Each Mounting 50 Guns Or More. As British Officers Happily Reminded One Another, It Was The Largest Fleet Ever Seen In American Waters. In Fact, It Was The Largest Expeditionary Force Of The Eighteenth Century, The Largest, Most Powerful Force Ever Sent Forth From Britain Or Any Nation.
