View of Louisbourg. This scene depicts the French stronghold of Louisbourg in the center, besieged by a British fleet of over one hundred and fifty ships seen in the distance in Gabarus Bay. The French naval force is shown in the harbor on the right in the background, and on the left, smoke from the firing of a French battery on Entry Island at the mouth of Louisbourg Bay. In the foreground, French defenders are busy moving guns and materials to the promontory behind the lighthouse.
