18th C Indian Ocean Voyages

The Mascarenes

The Dauphin landed at Port Louis, Île de France (Mauritius) on 16 October 1749. Here, presumably, they sold the 52 enslaved Africans they had purchased at Gorée. There is no record how many of these captives survived the crossing.

The Dauphin, spent over six months in the Mascarenes. Most of this time was spent at Port Louis on Île de France, but the is record of three brief trips over to Île Bourbon (Réunion).

On 7 March 1750, the ship departed for its passage back to Europe.
