Name of this battle
The name of this battle, as recorded in the title of the article, is totally inaccurate.
This action was fought off the north shore of Cape Breton Island, perhaps ten to fifteen miles northeast of Sydney Harbor, and then running to the east during its duration. The French name you have given it is even more off base. It was not fought near Louisbourg, and certainly not in view of that city, nor are there an appreciable heights near Louisbourg. Consequently the Google map indicator is far off.
