Early European settlers had small subsistence farms, but most of the inhabitants' income from that time to the present has been derived from the sea. The Acadian fishing settlement was abandoned after repeated raids from New England colonists during Queen Anne's War in 1705, in which five Acadians were taken prisoner, and again in 1708. Raid on Port Roseway (1715) On May 14, 1715, New England naval commander Cyprian Southack attempted to create a permanent fishing station a ...
