Fortress of Louisbourg 13
















As most visitors gathered inside the King's Garrison, I went outside and photographed the band and soldiers as they prepared to march into the garrison square.

Today I am sharing more photos taken around the King's Garrison while I was waiting for the soldiers to fire muskets and cannons.  There were several characters in costume wandering around as people gathered for the show.

Feel free to share with family and friends.

Fortress of Louisbourg 10















Fortress of Louisbourg 10


There were two soldiers demonstrating how to load and shoot a musket from the 18th Century.  One explained in French, the other in English.  I photographed both of them, however, the background was much better for the French group than the other. I actually photographed the soldier in the English group as he shot the musket because the lighting was better.

Feel free to share with family and friends.
