Source place of publication A Paris Source publisher Chez Nicolas Le Gras, au troisième Pilier de la grande Salle du Palais, à l'L couronnée. Source date M. DCC. [1700] notes Froger notes that French Saint Croix was known for sugar, cotton, indigo, fowl, and pigs. Dutch Saint Thomas was remarkable for its white cliffs and towers around its fortified port. Sugar and indigo were grown there, but the slave trade with the Spanish on Puerto Rico was more important.Admiral de Gennes had two purposes in this voyage supported by Louis XIV --to create trouble for Spain and to take booty. Six ships sailed ostensibly to establish a colony at the Strait of Magellan. They stopped on the African coast where they raided a fort, taking slaves and goods that were then sold by one of the ships in the Antilles. The other ships continued on to Rio de Janeiro and down the South American coast to the Strait of Magellan, but they had to turn back due to a shortage of food. They returned to La Rochelle in April 1697.
