EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "BATTLE OF THE KEGS, 1778" takes us back to a crucial moment in American history during the Revolutionary War. The image captures the audacious attempt by American revolutionaries to sabotage British ships on the Delaware River near Philadelphia. In this wood engraving from the late 19th century, we witness kegs filled with gunpowder floating down the river, resembling innocent barrels at first glance. However, these seemingly harmless vessels were actually cleverly designed mines intended to explode upon contact with British naval forces. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as these makeshift explosives navigate through treacherous waters towards their targets. It symbolizes the resourcefulness and determination of those fighting for independence against overwhelming odds. This historic event showcases not only the bravery of American revolutionaries but also their innovative tactics in warfare. The Battle of the Kegs serves as a reminder that even unconventional methods can be effective when faced with a formidable enemy.
