Montague (brigantine)
''Montague'' was an armed brigantine of the Nova Scotia government which patrolled Nova Scotian waters during the Seven Years' War as part Nova Scotia's Provincial Marine. ''Montague'' played a notable role in beginning New England Planter settlements until she was wrecked in the Canard River in Kings County, Nova Scotia in December 1760.
A former privateer brigantine, ''Montaque'' received a Letter of Marque on May 28, 1759 and was commanded by Jeremiah Rogers.〔(George E. E. Nichols, "Notes on Nova Scotian Privateers", Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society, March 15, 1904 )〕 She was commissioned by the Governor of Nova Scotia Charles Lawrence as a patrol vessel in November 1759.〔("British privateer brigantine 'Montague' (1759)", ''Three Decks - Warships in the Age of Sail '' )〕 ''Montague'' patrolled against French privateers, moved soldiers to garrisons, attacked Acadian partisans and assisted in the final phases of the Expulsion of the Acadians. One of her final duties was to assist the landing of the New England Planters in the Minas Basin. ''Montague'' landed supplies and provided security for the settlements until early December 1760. After having landed supplies at a landing on the Habitant River, ''Montague'' was descending the river when she became stuck on a river bank in the tidal estuary of the river. When the tide went out, the brigantine fell on her side in the steep river channel and became a total loss. The crew of 20 and the pilot were uninjured.〔(Ed Coleman, "A 1760 Wreck on the Canard River", ''Kings County Register'', May 12, 2013 )〕
In recent years considerable effort has been made in recent years to locate the wreck of the ''Montague'' which is thought to lie near the Wellington Dyke on the Habitant River. The heavily sedimented and low-energy wreck site along the Habitant River may have preserved, but also buried the wreck. A search led by the Kings County Museum under a heritage research permit in 2013 failed to locate the wreck although it did bring to light new information about the vessel and its role in 18th Century Nova Scotia.〔(Ed Coleman, "Canard River Holds on to Her Secrets", ''Kings County Advertiser/Register'', March 23, 2014 )〕
