- Island
Battery
- It
was claimed by the English who attacked the Island Battery
in 1745 that the French regarded it as the palladium of
Louisbourg. No doubt what was meant, in naval speak, was
that it was regarded as the defensive bulwark of its inner
harbour. Twice attacked, twice silenced, loved or hated, it
represented in a startling microcosm all that Louisbourg
itself as a military might was and was not. Here too loomed
the battle between what was built and what was proposed.
What was built was battered twice and finally knocked down
beyond any use. What was proposed would have met the same
fate - argumentatively just as quickly - though at a far
greater financial cost.

anniversary of the founding of Louisbourg.
-
The French came to Louisbourg in 1713, at
the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, when they
had to surrender title to their holdings in Newfoundland
and on mainland Nova Scotia. Initially Louisbourg was a
base from which the French exploited North America's
lucrative cod fishery. In 1745, after three decades of
peace and prosperity, a combined British and New England
force attacked and captured Louisbourg. An occupying
army took over the town, and its residents were removed
to France. Three years later Britain returned Cape
Breton to France through a treaty. In 1758 Britain took
Louisbourg a second time, and in 1760 demolished much of
the fortifications.
