The Capture of York Factory was a 1694 Anglo-French conflict on Hudson Bay. In 1686 Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville marched overland from Québec and captured all the English posts on James Bay. This left York Factory, which was too far away and could only be reached by sea. In 1688 King William's War started and the needed ships were hard to get. In 1690 Iberville tried to take York Factory but was driven away by a larger English ship. In 1694 Governor Frontenac gave him the ships Salamandre and Poli. Iberville reached the Nelson River on 14 September. The fort was invested and on 14 October it surrendered. (The English garrison consisted mainly of traders, clerks and laborers and they had not brought in enough firewood to withstand a long siege).

  • The Capture of York Factory was a 1694 Anglo-French conflict on Hudson Bay. In 1686 Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville marched overland from Québec and captured all the English posts on James Bay. This left York Factory, which was too far away and could only be reached by sea. In 1688 King William's War started and the needed ships were hard to get. In 1690 Iberville tried to take York Factory but was driven away by a larger English ship. In 1694 Governor Frontenac gave him the ships Salamandre and Poli. Iberville reached the Nelson River on 14 September. The fort was invested and on 14 October it surrendered. (The English garrison consisted mainly of traders, clerks and laborers and they had not brought in enough firewood to withstand a long siege). Among the 53 men who surrendered was Henry Kelsey. The post was renamed Fort Bourbon. Since it was late in the season both the Canadiens and their captives had to spend the winter there. By the time the ice broke up many on both sides had died of scurvy. Iberville waited, hoping to capture the annual English supply ships. By September they had not arrived, so he left 70 men at the fort and sailed for La Rochelle with a valuable load of furs. Iberville's victory was nullified by two factors. The previous year (1693) the English had recaptured Fort Albany to the south on James Bay. Ten months after Iberville left three Royal Navy frigates under William Allen recaptured York Factory. (en)
  • La capture de York Factory, en 1694, fait partie du conflit anglo-français en Amérique du Nord. En 1686, Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville marche par voie terrestre jusqu'à la baie d'Hudson, et capture tous les postes de traites anglais sur la baie James. Il ne reste que York Factory qui était trop loin et pouvait seulement être atteint par la mer. En 1688, la Première Guerre intercoloniale débute et les navires étaient difficiles à avoir. En 1690, Iberville essaye de prendre York Factory mais est chassé par un navire anglais plus imposant. En 1694, le gouverneur Frontenac lui donne deux navires, le Salamandre et le Poli, pour pouvoir rejoindre la rivière Nelson le 14 septembre. Le fort est mis à siège et le 14 octobre, les Anglais se rendent. Parmi les 53 hommes qui se rendent, il y avait Henry Kelsey. Le poste est renommé le fort Bourbon. Puisqu'il était tard dans la saison, les Canadiens et leur captifs durent passer l'hiver ensemble. Lorsque les glaces subsistèrent, plusieurs de chaque côté étaient décédés du scorbut. Iberville attend, en espérant capturer les navires de ravitaillement. Vers septembre, voyant que les navires n'arrivaient pas, il quitte avec 70 hommes et prend la direction de La Rochelle avec une charge de fourrures de valeurs. La victoire d'Iberville est annulée pour deux raisons. L'année précédente en (1693), les Anglais recapturent le fort Albany au sud de la baie James. Dix mois plus tard après le départ d'Iberville, trois frégates de la Royal Navy sous le commandement de William Allen recapturent York Factory. (fr)
