Some Interesting Facts

For both sieges, the initial landings took place at Kennington Cove, although the bulk of the subsequent landings of troops, stores and
artillery took place at Flat Cove Brook (or Freshwater Brook Cove). I should also note that Flat Point and Simon Point are the same, with Simon
Point the more modern name. As Flat Point was the common name in both French and English during the 18th century, it is the one I commonly use,
although if you follow that practice in your guide you will probably want to link it to Simon Point.
