The Battle of the Restigouche was the final naval battle between the English and French for the possession of North America during the Seven Years’ War. It was waged in 1760. In an attempt to protect their fleet, the French constructed a number of gun batteries along both sides of the Restigouche River.

Battle of Restigouche National Historic Site of Canada is located at the bottom of the Chaleur Bay, in the estuary of Restigouche River, on the Quebec side.

But you can find a few artifacts in Campbellton too. Marking this event are two cannons in Riverside Park, one with three fleurs-de-lys on the barrel and the other with what appears to be stylized anchors.
