== Historical context ==
In order to protect the bay, there was one fort erected, Fort Plaisance (1662) (also known as Vieux Fort) between 1662-1690.〔http://www.academia.edu/4906465/The_Historical_Archaeology_of_a_French_Fortification_in_the_Colony_of_Plaisance_The_Vieux_Fort_Site_ChAl-04_Placentia_Newfoundland〕
During King William's War, on 25 February 1690, 45 British freebooters from Ferryland led by Herman Williamson attacked Plaisance by land. After killing two soldiers and wounding governor Louis de Pastour de Costebelle, they took possession of the town and destroyed the fort.〔http://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/exploration/charles-hawkins-answers-inquiries-1691.php〕 The population was imprisoned in the church for six weeks, until the English left on 5 April with the colony's supplies.〔http://www.heritage.nf.ca/exploration/garrison.html〕
The French replaced former Fort Plaisance with Fort Saint-Louis (1691), with 50 French soldiers.
