1767-Feb.-16: The merchant vessel L’Assomption, hailing from Morlaix and led by Captain Desmoulins, departed from Cap-Français bound for Nantes. The ship set sail with a cargo of colonial wealth, following the departures of L’Américain for Bordeaux and Le Saint-André for the lower coast. These voyages completed the commercial exchange by transporting sugar and coffee to French metropolitan distributors. The frequency of these sailings highlights the efficiency of the mercantilist system during the height of the Old Regime.
