Battle of Neuville

The Battle of Pointe-aux-Trembles was a naval and land engagement during the conquest of New France that took place on 16 May 1760 on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, near the future site of Neuville, Quebec, Canada. In the previous September, the British had occupied the city of Quebec in New France, and starting in April a French force had been besieging the city. A relief force of the Royal Navy, having forced a passage through ice up the Saint Lawrence River, destroyed the French ships led by Jean Vauquelin that were assisting in the siege. The British victory forced the French under Chevalier de Lévis to raise the siege and to end their attempts to retake Quebec City.
