1767-Jan.-12: The slave ship Le Triton, originating from Bordeaux and led by Captain Coudain, docked at Port-au-Prince carrying 191 African captives. The voyage originated from the Lower Gold Coast, a region that provided a significant portion of the colony’s enslaved labor force. This shipment represented a smaller-scale infusion of labor compared to the massive arrivals from Angola earlier in the month. The arrival was publicized to coordinate the sale of the captives to local planters in the Western Province.
