Santiago (St Jago)
The Prince de Conti was at Santiago on 4 April 1754. While there, five French soldiers deserted their company.
After the ship left Cabo Verde, somewhere in the South Atlantic, the Prince de Conti experienced its first death of the voyage. On 31 May, a 16-year-old cabin boy named Gilles-Jacques L'Helieve (or l'Elicoc) (n° 121) fell overboard and drowned. He left £3 worth of possessions.
It would not be the last death on the voyage.
