The Gulf of St. Lawrence Campaign (also known as The Gaspee Expedition) occurs during the French and Indian War (the North American theater of the Seven Years' War) when British forces raide villages along present-day New Brunswick and the Gaspé Peninsula coast of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
Sir Charles Hardy and Brigadier-General James Wolfe are in command of the naval and military forces respectively.
After the Siege of Louisbourg (1758), Wolfe and Hardy lead a force of fifteen hundred troops in nine vessels to the Gaspé Bay arriving there on September 5.
From here they dispatch troops to Miramichi Bay (September 12), Grande-Rivière, Quebec and Pabos (September 13), and Mont-Louis, Quebec (September 14).
Over the following weeks, Sir Charles Hardy takes four sloops or schooners, destroys about two hundred fishing vessels and takes about two hundred prisoners.
