The British force anchors in Gabarus Bay,…
June 1758 CE
The French commander (and governor of Île-Royale (New France), the Chevalier de Drucour, has at his disposal some thirty-five hundred regulars as well as approximately thirty-five hundred marines and sailors from the French warships in the harbor.
However, unlike the previous year, the French navy is unable to assemble in significant numbers, leaving the French squadron at Louisbourg outnumbered five to one by the British fleet.
Drucour orders trenches to be prepared and manned by some two thousand French troops, along with other defenses, such as an artillery battery, at Kennington Cove.
