Fort Sainte Anne (Nova Scotia)

The fort was built by Captain Charles Daniel (1629) after he raided Baleine.

After Queen Anne's War, French officer Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville and others established Fort Dauphin in 1713 as the capital of Ile Royale, prior to the establishment of Louisbourg.

[4] De Rouville played a role in the early settlement of both present-day Englishtown (1719-1722) and St. Peter's (1713-1718).

[5] As commodore of the fleet, Edward Tyng led 13 armed vessels and about 90 transports in the successful Siege of Louisbourg (1745).

He participated in the Capture of the Vigilant and the destruction of Port Dauphin (Englishtown) in June 1745, burning 40 houses and an equal number of vessels.
