I Woke Up in New York the Night It Burned — 1776

New York City, September 1776. Lina wakes up in a city she recognizes only by name. No skyscrapers. No taxis. No electricity. British soldiers patrol the streets, warships fill the harbor, and the American Revolution is unfolding around her. Then the church bells begin to ring. Fire. What starts as a distant glow quickly becomes one of the most destructive disasters in early New York history — the Great Fire of New York of 1776. Lina must navigate burning streets, panicked crowds, British soldiers, collapsing buildings, and a city filled with rumors about who started the fire. Was it an accident? British sabotage? American revolutionaries? More than two centuries later, the exact cause is still debated. In this episode of Lina Time Traveler, experience British-occupied New York during the American Revolution from inside the disaster. Same world. Different time.
