"Yorktown: A Historic Battlefield and a Symbol of American Victory" Step back in time to the year 1781, when history was made on the shores of Yorktown. This small town in Virginia witnessed one of the most significant events in American history - the Siege during the Revolutionary War. The USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier, now proudly displayed at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, serves as a reminder of this pivotal moment. As you explore its decks, imagine Hamilton himself standing here during that fateful year. Intriguing steel engravings from 1858 depict scenes painted by Alonzo Chappel, capturing the intensity and heroism that unfolded on these very grounds. The map drawn by Louis Alexandre Berthier provides a glimpse into Williamsburg's surroundings during this historic period. Witnessing an Avenger taking off from USS Yorktown brings to life the courage and determination exhibited by those who fought for independence, and is a testament to their unwavering spirit. Auguste Couder's artwork transports us back to witness firsthand the American siege of Yorktown. The battle that ensued forever changed our nation's destiny and shaped its future. Lieutenant Colonel Tench Tilghman's announcement of Cornwallis' surrender echoes through time as we stand upon these hallowed steps where it all began. Currier & Ives' lithograph captures this historic moment with vivid detail, reminding us how victory was achieved against all odds. The Battle marked a turning point in the American War of Independence - it was here that freedom triumphed over tyranny. EVRV2D-00088 immortalizes this event for generations to come. As you gaze upon Yorktown harbor today, envisioning what once transpired within its waters, remember that this place holds not only historical significance but also represents resilience and unity - values deeply ingrained in America's DNA. Visit Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum and step into the footsteps of those who fought for liberty.
