Siege and plunder at Savannah coast in 1779 river actions
Dispatches recount a prolonged assault by Spanish and allied forces on Savannah in 1779 with Captain Nugent and Lieutenant Trott leading defense. The British fleet, ships like Racehorse and Pomona, endured bombardment and ground attacks, coasted by George's Key and Fort defenses, and ultimately repelled attackers though heavy casualties and prisoner exchanges followed.
