1767-Jan.-12: Captain Pierre le Lievre arrived at Cap-Français in command of the ship Le Rollant, which originated from Honfleur. The ship carried 390 African captives from the Gold Coast to be sold under the direction of the merchant Mr. Barabé. The public sale of these individuals was scheduled to begin the following Friday near the old Government building. Cap-Français served as a primary commercial center where such high-volume transactions supported the northern plantation economy.
