18th C Indian Ocean Voyages

A Family Business?

There are no records of Joséph Tréguier after his last voyage on the Hirondelle. Two additional French East India Company rôles do list a sailor named Joséph Tréguier from Lorient, but they are far too young to be the same person. The Princesse de Rohu (1787) was another coastal vessel servicing farms in the Lorient region. On board was a 15-year-old Joséph Tréguier from Lorient. Perhaps it was the other Joséph Tréguier's son following in his father's footsteps. The next year another Joséph Tréguier from Lorient (or possibly the same Joséph, though his physical description is different) embarked on the Chancelière de Brabant for the Mascarenes.

After that there is no more mention of Joséph Tréguier, and a few years later the French East India Company was dissolved under the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution.
