1767-Jan.-02: The ship La Pauline, sailing from Le Havre under the command of Captain Rabier, arrived at the harbor of Cap-Français. Le Havre was a major French gateway for colonial trade, specializing in the transport of diverse merchandise to Saint-Domingue. The timely arrival of such vessels was crucial for maintaining the supply of European clothing, wine, and tools in the northern markets.
