Fun fact: the bad guy in the Patriot, Colonel Tavington, was based off a real British dragoon officer in the Revoltionary War. Except his name was Colonel Tarleton.
Tarleton was one bad dude.
Also, it wasn't just the French fleet that was pivotal. They had troops on the ground at Yorktown that helped bottle up Cornwallis.
BTW, Yorktown is a great place to visit if you are a history buff, plus Williamsburg and Jamestown are close by.

Yep, it's a GREAT family vacation spot.
Also, the Jamestown Settlement Site is nearby, if I recall correctly.
