My recent trip to Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site in Newburgh had a fascinating bonus: viewing original pieces of the Great Chain boom assembly! If you've read #EspionageandEnslavement or #rememberliss you know that the Great Chain which was floated on this enormous boom was stretched across the Hudson River at West Point. Cousin to "Culper, Jr." - an ironmaster named Peter Townsend, created the Chain. At the end of the war Solomon Townsend (older brother to the spy) married Peter's daughter Anne, bringing the Great Chain even closer to Liss's story. Solomon later wrote letters with Robert to his iron anchor business contacts in Charleston to help bring Liss back home to New York. #CulperSpyRing #blackhistory365 #sschat
