Pane-Joyce writes, " He commanded most of the expeditions of the ‘Whaleboat fleet’ which was of such material assistance in the French and Indian War from 1689-1704, and made a brilliant record as a soldier." Dunkle's article in NEHGR concerns a 1690 expedition of which his father, then Capt. John Gorham, was a member. Shubael's 1735 petition was attempting to "secure the grant of a tract of land as a township for the benefit of survivors of the expedition and their heirs." Dunkle writes, "The ill-fated 1690 expedition, led by Sir William Phips, departed in April and quickly conquered Port Royal, now Annapolis, Nova Scotia. They then sailed on up the St. Lawrence in a motley collection of vessels intending to subdue both Quebec and Montreal. The expedition failed utterly, leaving the colony with a mountain of debt".2,6
