Saint-Paul


The Prince de Conti was at Île de Bourbon from late November through mid-December 1755. For most of this time it was at the port of Saint-Paul.

At Saint-Paul, ten people disembarked and ten embarked on the Prince de Conti.

It seems that part of the reason for this mini-leg from Île de France to Île Bourbon was medical. Of the ten who disembarked at Saint-Paul, nine went to hospital. Eight were ill and one was injured after falling from a height. There is no record of any of them dying. The tenth who stayed in Saint-Paul was a 17-year-old cabin boy named Pierre-Alexandre Boulé (n° 124).

All of the ten who boarded the Prince de Conti were listed as passengers, returning to Europe at the expense of the Company. Some were soldiers, some sailors, one was a miller.
