1767-Feb. (approx.): A luxury carriage, described as a new chaise with a mahogany body and velvet lining, was offered for sale in Cap-Français. The vehicle was accompanied by a set of harnesses designed for a three-horse team. Interested buyers were directed to contact M. Bertrand on Rue du Bac or M. Porchereau at Port-Margot. The availability of such high-end metropolitan transport options reflects the social status and mobility of the wealthy northern enslavers.
