1766-Dec.-27: The merchant vessel Le Maréchal-de-Luxembourg, out of Nantes and led by Captain Tanquerel, docked at Saint-Marc after a stop in Port-au-Prince. The ship was expected to remain in the harbor only briefly before returning to sea for its journey back to metropolitan France. These routes were part of the complex logistical network required to transport colonial exports like sugar and indigo to European markets. Saint-Marc’s location in the Artibonite region made it a convenient and important stop for large-scale trading expeditions.
