CaptainCiaran Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 The largest reconstructed fortress in North America is under seige again. Fortress Louisbourg, located along the eastern shore of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, is the scene of an archeological scramble, as a recent storm washed away shoreline to reveal a long portion of the fort's original wall of 1735. Louisbourg was France's great sentinel against the British in Cape Breton. Here be a link to the news report by the CBC: Fortress Louisbourg I have visited Louisbourg twice in recent years and find it absolutely spellbinding, truly one of the greatest reconstructed fortresses in the world. I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.
