About this audio guide

This guide to the DAR Museum in Washington, D.C. begins on the Delaware River at two in the afternoon on October 23, 1777, with a British warship stuck on a sandbar below Philadelphia. Along the way you'll hear the rival theories about who set her alight, from the British account to the American claims, and why nobody ever settled it. It is best heard inside Memorial Continental Hall itself.
