Burgoyne and Carleton review the assembled forces…

June 1777 CE

Burgoyne and Carleton review the assembled forces at St. John's on the Richelieu River, just north of Lake Champlain, on June 13, 1777, and Burgoyne is ceremonially given command.

In addition to five sailing ships built the previous year, a sixth has been built and three had been captured after the Battle of Valcour Island.

These will provide some transport as well as military cover for the large fleet of transport boats that moves the army south on the lake.
