Port Royal, capture of
In 1690, the Indians having taken the fort at Pemaquid, and French privateers from Acadia infesting the coasts of New England, the General Court of Massachusetts determined to seize Port Royal, N. S. A fleet of eight small vessels, bearing about 800 men, under the command of Sir William Phipps, sailed for that purpose on April 28.
The weak fort was surrendered without resistance, and the whole seacoast from that town to the northeast settlements was taken possession of by Sir William.
