4h 48min, jun 26, 1759 y - River of Fire
Description:
With British warships incoming on Quebec, the French decided to strike first. They sent 80 Ships and rafts loaded with explosives towards the British fleet in hopes to blow up all the ships in the river. They were unsuccessful because they blew up their own ships way too early. The British continued en route to Quebec.
