Haverstraw Bay
Photographer: John Intile
Taken: February 24, 2011
Caption: Haverstraw Bay
Additional Description: This photograph shows the Haverstraw Bay section of the Hudson River. The Vulture would have been anchored in the distance off Teller's point to the East (left). Andre, accompanied by Joshua Hett Smith and the reluctant boat hands, was rowed ashore from the Vulture in the darkness and landed along the West bank of the river to the right in the photograph and then clambered up the steep embankment where Benedict Arnold awaited him. After talking for an hour or more, they were warned by Smith of the approaching dawn. It was this fateful decision by Andre to accompany Arnold back to the Smith (Treason) house in Haverstraw that would ultimately prevent him from returning to the Vulture and sealed his doom on the gallows.
