1777-March-20: Nicholas Rogers, an American agent stationed at Port-au-Prince, reported to Silas Deane that eleven American vessels were currently anchored at Cap-Français. He also noted that five or six other ships had recently departed from Môle St. Nicolas to return to the United States with essential supplies. This high volume of maritime traffic illustrated the intense commercial activity occurring between the North American colonies and the French West Indies. The American agents in the colony worked closely with French officials to ensure that the “safest routes” were utilized for transporting gunpowder and arms. Logan highlights this period as one of deep coordination between the American revolutionaries and the colonial administration of Saint-Domingue.
