Description
A new Chart of the Coast of New England, Nova Scotia, New France or Canada, with the Islands of Newfoundland, Cape Breton and St. John’s. Image is 18 1/2 X 13 1/2 inches. Coper plate engraved Thomas Jefferys, London, after Nicolas Bellin, Paris. Circa 1744. This was the year that France commenced the French and Indian War, by attacking and capturing the English fort and settlement at Canso, on Cape Breton Island. In 1745, Col. William Pepperrell led the New England Militia assault against the French Fortress Louisburg, on Cape Breton. The fortress surrendered in June of 1745. The war continued to 1760, with the complete expulsion, of the French, from Canada. The Chart includes, three insets, the city of Quebec, the City and Port of Louisburg and Fort Dauphin, which is a prominent Cannon Platform, on the harbor side of Fortress Louisburg. T. Jefferys uses the English names for most of the islands instead of the French. As the area and islands were in contention and attack by the neutral French and Indian allies.
