The capture of Grenada was an amphibious expedition in July 1779 during the American Revolutionary War. A French fleet under Admiral Charles Henri Hector, Count of Estaing captured the island of Grenada from the British. The French landed on 2 July and the assault occurred on the night of 3–4 July. The French forces assaulted the British fortifications on Hospital Hill, overlooking the island's capital, Saint George's. The fortification's cannons were captured and turned against Fort George. British Governor Lord Macartney opened negotiations to surrender.
