Show detail Hide detail

A television documentary on Louisbourg, Cape Breton Island, from its founding in 1713 to its destruction by the British in 1760. This program, hosted by Knowlton Nash, employs narrative, period artwork, and shots of the area today to indicate the importance Louisbourg had as the third largest seaport in North America and as a link to France during the latter's war with England. The narrative accompanies footage of actors in period costume at the reconstructed site of this settlement of Ile Royale to dramatize class differences in clothing, diet, furnishings, and status among Louisbourg inhabitants, including soldiers, officers, merchants, financial commisaries, the Town Major (head of the military), and servants. Also illustrated are: the paternalistic administration of Louisbourg; its commerce (including salt cod exports and privateering at sea); the construction of its buildings and fortifications; its legal system (including methods of torture); and its military system. Noteworthy artwork of: port activities; black slaves being imported; and the Louisbourg lighthouse. <60mn>
