the title of it was "the burning of washington" and i'm sure that thornton himself did not give it that title. it was somebody at the library of congress who was helping people identify this and after studying this, it's very clear to me that this is not the burning of washington at all. it's the burning of the washington navy yard. if you look closely there, you can make out, for example, the sheds where some of the ships would have been kept, and where the masts and the spars and the timbers would have been kept. and if you look even closer, that building right there tells me that's latrobe gate. that's the entrance to the shipyard. for those of you familiar with t. you know that's what it is. and i can't be quite as sure, but when i look at this building right there, the roof line reminds me very much of the tingey house and that house is where the commandant of the shipyard lived and that house survives today as does barracks b or building number b, and as does latrobe gate. those structures were not burnt but almost everything else was. and so this is what it is titled today when i

concerned thornton who led the 85th across the bridge. and also major wood. all these key officers were wounded here and left at bladensburg. and so they were not available to lead the advance of baltimore. so the disaster that happened to the british at baltimore was because of what happened here at bladensburg. so bladensburg and the burning of washington was definitely a disaster and something that should not have happened and i disagree with what is said that washington was burned because of the burning of york. we can talk about that a little bit more. that's always been said. that's been said for 200 years. but there's absolutely nothing in the british correspondence to say we went to washington because we wanted revenge for the burning of york. in fact, the british admiral and chi chief, vices a mirl s svice adm mentioned a number of places where the americans had burned up in canada. including niagara on the lake. i know we have an official here from niagara on the lake, but he never mentions york. so that means that york was not the reason. they were

i'd like to remind you to go back to that thornton image that everybody believed was the burning of washington. and it's actually the burning of the washington navy yard. and so what i'm trying to get across to you is that i firmly believe that most of the red sky that was seen by people, whether it be in leesburg, virginia, 35 miles away, or in baltimore or even at the mouth of the river aboard one of the ships of the line where they reported in their logbook that they could see a red glow 40 miles away in washington, d.c., i think what those people were seeing were primarily the burning of the washington navy yard, which was set on fire by americans. the fires from the public buildings that the british burned and the few private buildings that they burnt because resistance came from them certainly added to that. but the flames coming out of those buildings i would argue, would be minuscule compared to what you would see at the navy yard. i don't want to go into a lot of detail here. i'm getting hungry. if you look at the census of 1810, it's estimated that there were 109 total brick or stone
