Siege and Naval Action at Port of Plaisance Fort Lewis
A British naval force approaches Port of Plaisance. French defenders build a wooden redoubt atop the mountain and raise a four-gun battery at Goulet to deter landing. An English officer visits under a flag of salute, stating King William’s orders to seize the place, while defenders vow to resist and report Admiral St Albans with 62 guns.
