The Prince de Conti was outfitted at Lorient on 8 March 1754. It launched the next day.
Ten individuals disembarked before the ship left port. Seven of these were due to illness. One was a desertion; a German soldier, Simon Dalinot (n°254), deserted his company before they had even left port. Two others disembarked for unspecified reasons. One of the latter, a twelve-year-old cabin boy named Joséph Tréguier (n° 130), managed to join up with the Prince de Conti at Foulpointe, Madagascar on 17 July.
