The British fleet's arrival off Sandy Hook …

Years: 1781 - 1781
September
The British fleet's arrival off Sandy Hook on September 20 sets off a flurry of panic among the Loyalist population.

The news of the defeat will also not be received well in London.

King George III will write (well before learning of Cornwallis's surrender) that "after the knowledge of the defeat of our fleet [...] I nearly think the empire ruined.” (Larrabee, Harold A (1964). Decision at the Chesapeake. New York: Clarkson N. Potter.)
