| | Battle of New Haven |
 | | New Haven had not celebrated our countrys third year of existence that day because of the Sabbath, but The Second Company, Connecticut Governors Foot Guard was readying their red and blue uniforms, and brushing their tall bearskin hats in preparation for a Monday celebration and parade. |
 | | New Havens militia and local townsfolk hid in the underbrush along the British route, and took shots at the invaders from their concealed positions. |
 | | Meanwhile, on the East Haven side of the harbor, General Tryon, with the 23rd Royal Regiment, Landgraves Hessian Regiment, and The Kings Americans, a Tory regiment had landed at Lighthouse Point near Black Rock Fort at approximately the same time. |
