Yorktown

A ship better suited for crossing an ocean, at least in my opinion. Moored on the York River, just upstream from Yorktown.

Two things I really liked about the Yorktown Battlefield NM, all of the remaining earthworks which really tell the story of the siege, and the emphasis given to the French participation in the victory. Their fleet drove off the British ships coming to Cornwallis assistance and they actually had more troops on the field under Washington and Lafayette than the Americans.
After Cornwallis' humiliating surrender it still took two more years to complete the Treaty of Paris, but I understand that Franklin enjoyed his time in France while negotiations drug on.

View from inner British defenses. Redoubts 9 and 10 are visible to the left and the scene of the only real small arms combat. Once they were taken the Colonial artillery could fire nearly point blank and surrender came quickly.
