An international fleet of tall ships arrived on the shores of New Jersey to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary
It’s like going back in time
It was a historical location gathering, "Nearly 250 years ago, it was here at Sandy Hook that George Washington's army drove the British from New Jersey” - Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a former naval officer
“It was from this day that the last British ships of the Revolutionary War departed."
The site is also home to America’s oldest continuously lit lighthouse, which has guided maritime navigators since 1764

British forces launch a full assault on Fort Sullivan, South Carolina.
The position does not fall as quickly as they would have pleased; British cannon fire bounces off the Patriot Fort, which is constructed of palmetto logs.
The British bullets cut down the militia flag, and young Patriot Sergeant William Jasper races to the pole and raises it under withering fire.
Meanwhile, American fire does substantial damage to Royal Navy ships.
Although 2,200 British troops and nine ships attacked a fort with only 400 militia inside, just 12 Patriots are killed for the loss of 91 British and severe damage to their ships.
They do not take the Fort and they are compelled to retreat.
Mike McCarthy holds #Steelers coaches from taking the field at practice until the last second, right after stretch line.
Per the CBA, the practice clock starts once they take the field. So Pittsburgh can use the full allotted time on drills. Smart stuff from McCarthy.
