This image is a reproduction of a photo depicting the battle between Joshua Barney's ship Hyder-Ally and the General Monk, under the command of Captain Rogers of the Royal Navy. This engagement took place on April 8, 1782 at the mouth of Delaware Bay, and established Commodore Joshua Barney's reputation as a naval hero of the Revolutionary War (he was 26 years old at the time). Four men on the Hyder-Ally were killed and another eleven were wounded. The toll onboard the General Monk was much greater; twenty men were killed, another thirty-three wounded --- every officer on board, save one midshipman, was a casualty.
