Talk:Reconquest of New Netherland

The 350 year commemoration of this event is on 9 August 2023
We would almost forget, but the opportunity to commemorate the recapture of New Amstrdam is very near. The fort was surrendered on 9 August 1673 (N.S., though it is usually remembered by the Old Style (Julian calendar) date of 30 July 1673, as this was the calendar used by the English). As currently everybody (even the British) uses the Gregorian calendar, the correct date for the commemoration would be 9 August, however. Ereunetes (talk) 22:59, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
