The Battle of Beauport was fought on July 31, 1759 between a British fleet and French land forces. The British were attempting to land their army in Quebec City. Despite a powerful British bombardment, the French defenses held and the British were unable to land their army. The British would try again with more success, further upstream on September 13, during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.
