Port aux Basques appear as a playable area in the 2014 videogame Assassin’s Creed Rogue.
Assassin’s Creed: Rogue is a 2014 open-world action-adventure game. The game features three main areas: the North Atlantic, the fictional River Valley (partly inspired by the Hudson Valley), and New York City.
Port aux Basques is in the first area. The place was settled by fisher-folk from the Channel Islands in the early 1700s. Port aux Basques refer to the harbour that was a favoured sheltering and watering place for Basque whalers.
In the 18th century, the area was home to a modest French settlement, protected by a palisade wall and a small port constructed near the coast. Various supplies were stored in one of the outpost’s warehouses.
