The privateer Pierre Maisonnat dit Baptiste in the summer of 1696 leads Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville's expedition out of Acadia to attack strongholds on the New England coast.
After having captured two frigates at the mouth of St. John River, the first target is the vitally important port at Pemaquid (present day Bristol, Maine).
The port is protected by Fort William Henry (also known as Fort Pemaquid).
Baptiste and the expedition soundly destroy the fort and dismantle it.
Acadia becomes a source of torment for the settlers of New England.
Iberville next goes two hundred miles west and destroys Fort William Henry at Pemaquid, Maione, the most northerly settlement in New England.
