1715-Apr 16.: France ship (Voyage 30056) arrives at Cap Français; an insurrection of the captives occurs. The resistance on board demonstrated the continuous struggle for freedom that captives waged even before reaching the shores. Significance: A recorded shipboard insurrection. Nuance: Resistance was a continuous “war” from the interior of Africa to the Caribbean ports. That the revolt happened at arrival suggests a final, desperate attempt to avoid the auction block.
