Landing at Kip's Bay
The Landing at Kip's Bay was a British maneuver during the New York Campaign in the American Revolutionary War. On September 15, 1776 General William Howe landed about 12,000 men on lower Manhattan, and by the end of the day he took control of New York City and stretched his lines across the island. While there was some fighting, the action was mainly a panicked withdrawal by American forces, who abandoned guns, powder, and important supplies.
