Action of 21 July 1781
The Action of 21 July 1781〔(French: ''Combat naval en vue de Louisbourg'', or ''Combat naval à la hauteur de Louisbourg'')〕 took place during the American Revolution between two French Navy frigates and a convoy of 18 British ships under protection of the Royal Navy off the harbour of Spanish River, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia (present-day Sydney, Nova Scotia). The two French frigates were led by Admiral Latouche Tréville and La Pérouse and were ultimately victorious in the battle, taking two escort ships, although most of the British convoy escaped.
== Background ==
The attack took place in the context of the Franco-American alliance against Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War. A possible reason for the French attack was to take back Louisburg, which the British had taken from them in the French and Indian War. 〔''History of the origin, formation, and adoption of the Constitution of the United States'' George Ticknor Curtis, p.156 ()〕〔Brian Douglas Tennyson and Roger Flynn Sarty (2002), ''(Guardian of the Gulf )'', University of Toronto Press.
