The Americans had gotten most the damage. Aboard the Congress, Arnold held a council with his officers. Outside, the flaming Royal Savage crackled until fire caught the magazine and it exploded. The Philadelphia who had caught a cannonball shot by the Inflexible, became the first ship in the Americans fleet to sink. The Congress was not in perfect condition, either. The Washington was hulled multiple times and the main mast shot through. "Both vessels are very leaky and need repairing," said Arnold. http://www.vuhs.org/project/valcour.htm The Battle of Valcour Island
