Landing at Kip's Bay
Since 1776
The landing at Kip's Bay was a British amphibious landing carried out on September 15, 1776 during the New York and New Jersey campaign of the American Revolutionary War. It occurred on the East River shore of Manhattan north of what then constituted New York City.
Heavy advance fire from British naval forces in the East River caused the inexperienced American militia guarding the landing area to flee, allowing the British to land unopposed at Kip's Bay.
