Provision # 460036 ALL NEW ADVANCED AUDIO SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATIUON ALL NEW ADVANCED AUDIO SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATIUON I N 1697, a single French ship sank a British warship, captured a second ship and chased off a third ship. It was an audacious act of war that nearly turned into a suicide mission, but the Battle of Hudson Bay is a forgotten chapter in Canada's history. That could change with an intrepid group's plan to film an educational video in Churchill this summer for a curriculum kit aimed at high school students. And if they can find the ship that sank, it would be a bonus. Three hundred years ago, an imperious colonial aristocrat pointed his sails north from New France ( modern Quebec), departing with a fleet of wooden sailing ships. In the end, Pierre Le Moyne D'Iberville and a single warship did what no one could have imagined: won a pitched battle that almost changed Canadian history. The Fara Heim Foundation, a nonprofit group of modern adventurers inspired by ancient Icelandic sagas, sailed last summer into the bay to hunt for a Viking presence and heard about the history of the battle. Fara Heim hopes to raise $ 23,000 through the social media crowd sourcing website Kickstarter, a sum that would let the group launch its proposed expedition at the end of August. A core team of researchers and assistants wants to return to the scene of the battle that ended in the surrender of York Factory to the French. " There is a real need for teaching aids for use in teaching early Canadian and North American history," said Winnipegger Johann Sigurdson III, Fara Heim's Canada team leader. The purpose of the expedition is to chronicle the Battle of Hudson Bay in a presentation that could easily be given at high schools, with an instructional kit for teachers and a 45- minute video that would feature the expedition and its forgotten history. It was 1697 and the Arctic had nearly scuttled D'Iberville and his fleet before the enemy force ever reached their battle field. He lost his squadron in thick fog and, when it lifted, found himself alone facing three bristling British warships on guard in the bay near York Factory. In the pitched battle that followed, against ships from the most powerful navy in the world, it was the scion of the powerful New France family who shook victory out of defeat. But it cost him. His ship was wrecked and he barely beached it before a blizzard closed in on the bay. Then the fort pinned captain and crew under a barrage of cannon fire. The rest of the squadron arrived to rescue D'Iberville in the morning. In an anticlimax, York Factory surrendered and for 16 years New France held the monopoly over the lucrative Arctic fur trade. Eventually, the stunning British defeat would be forgotten. " I'd never heard anything about it," said Sigurdson. " Our core team grew up in the province of Manitoba and we'd never heard of this historical event." Later, Sigurdson would find the Battle of Hudson Bay had re- emerged on historians' lists as the only Arctic naval battle in Canadian history and an important military engagement. " It was right up there with the Plains of Abraham," he said, amazed. The Plains of Abraham is probably the reason the Battle of Hudson Bay slipped past the pages of history for so long. With the defeat of the French, the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 saw the British gain control of New France, and take back the entire basin of Hudson Bay. The French were even forced to pay compensation to the Hudson's Bay Company. And with it, the brief French sojourn into Hudson Bay ended. Speaking of the roles of York Factory and the Prince of Wales Fort, Cam Elliott, Parks Canada superintendent for northern Manitoba national historic sites, said he's not familiar with the proposed expedition to chronicle the battle of the bay but he said there's no doubt Hudson Bay played a role in the world events of the era. " What's interesting is we've got this location with these important events that are a small piece within a much larger scope of world events. The world was small, even in the 1700s," said Elliott. alexandra. paul@ freepress. mb. ca Expedition dollars Fara Heim hopes to raise funds for its expedition through the online crowd sourcing site Kickstarter.

The work is part of a $ 4- million decade- long project to be completed next summer and it marks the third time restoration work has been done on the fort. The last time was in the 1950s. In 2004, heritage masons started the laborious process to stabilize crumbling sections of the fort's original stone walls. After that, a new drainage system was installed to ease destruction from heaving. It was completed in 2011. Archeologists worked ahead of the restoration and during the course of their work, they discovered a previously unknown section of the original sevenmetre inner wall, built between 1731 and 1740. " This was the last chance to look into the ramparts," said Parks Canada's Cam Elliott from Churchill. " The significance of it was that during the 1950s, the original cannons were mounted on reconstructed gun carriages ( made out of) stone and concrete and that was not the original platform," said Elliott, the superintendent for York Factory and the Prince of Wales national historic sites. The original platform had been built from slip thin logs, each one no more than six inches around.
