The Pointe aux Canons Battery (pronounced as /fr/) was a fort on the island of Saint Pierre in Saint Pierre and Miquelon built by the French to defend the islands from British attacks in 1690–1713. The 6 cannon battery was destroyed by the British in 1702.[1]
The old cannon battery was replaced in the 19th century to defend the islands during the Crimean War.[2] The Pointe aux Canons Lighthouse is located near the old fort site.
Four cannons now sit in a park near the site of the old fort, but traces of fort have disappeared with the development of the town.
