Yorktown, Virginia, USA. Fran�ois Joseph Paul, marquis de Grasse Tilly, comte de Grasse led the French naval force that blockaded the York River to prevent the British fleet from bringing supplies and troops to Cornwallis. Some will argue that his fleet's victory was one of the most important in American naval history.

Oyd Player created this sculpture and one of George Washington, standing several feet away on the river walk plaza.
