Treason Site Marker
Photographer: John Intile
Taken: February 17, 2011
Caption: Treason Site Marker
Additional Description: This photograph shows Haverstaw Bay as it would have been seen from the second story window of Smith's house (the Treason House). It was from that window that Andre and Arnold watched with horror as American artillery officer, Colonel James Livingston stationed on Teller's Point, unexpectedly and, acting on his own good judgment, began firing on the Vulture thus forcing the ship to weigh anchor and sail South and out of range of the bombardment, and out of reach of Andre. This brave decision by an American officer to take resolute action when it was required represents another fateful decision in the Arnold-Andre conspiracy that had world-changing and irreversible consequences.
