The Newfoundland Campaign was conducted by the British against the seven French ports and fishing fleet off northern Newfoundland at the opening of King George's War. The British were led by Captain Robert Young of the HMS Kinsale and Captain John Rous of the Young Eagle (16 carriage, 24 swivel guns, 100 men).〔(Chapin, Howard M.

In June 1744, Rous captured five prizes off Newfoundland and returned them to St. John’s on June 29.〔https://archive.org/stream/selectionsfrompu00nova#page/n123/mode/2up/search/newfoundland〕 In the first 12 days of July, Rous caught 9 more prizes on the Grand Banks.〔Howard, p. 26〕 By the end of July, Rous arrived in port at Ferryland with seven more ships. Rous then arrived in St. John’s again with another 12 prizes.〔( Documents relative to the colonial history of New York. Vol. IX, p.59, note 2 )〕〔(Naval and Military Memoirs of Great Britain: From the Year 1727, to the .. By Robert Beatson, Vol. 1, p. 178 )〕〔(HMS Kinsale )〕
On August 18, Rous with three other vessels (one under the command of Capt. Robert Cleves) attacked 5 ships of the French fleet at Fishott (Fishroad).〔The French ships were: St. Dennis (14 guns); Jason (14 guns); Marquis de Se (14 guns); Duc de Penthievre (12 guns); Moderate (12 guns)〕 The conflict lasted 5.5 hours. The French killed 11 of the British crew and wounded over 30. Rous estimated the French casualties were double this number and 70 were taken prisoner.〔Howard, p. 28〕 Rous then moved on to St. Julien’s where there was strong resistance but Rous was able to capture 3 ships.〔Howard, p. 28〕〔(Naval chronolgy; or, an historical summary of naval & maritime events, from ...
