Battle of the Delaware Capes

The Battle of the Delaware Capes was a naval engagement that was fought off the Delaware River towards the end of the American Revolutionary War. The battle took place on 20 and 21 December 1782, some three weeks after the signing of the preliminary articles of peace between Great Britain and the former American colonies. It was fought between three Royal Navy warships HMS Diomede, Quebec and Astraea, that battled the South Carolina State Navy's 40-gun frigate South Carolina and the privateer brigs Hope and Constance and schooner Seagrove. The British were victorious, with only Seagrove escaping capture.
