| Notes | Nous n'avons d'informations que par une publication du Moniteur Universel repris par le journal Le Breton, signalant la capture dans les environs de Bourbon avec 141 Noirs de traite. La caisse des prises confirme : les 141 Noirs bord valent une prime de 14100 F. C'est donc qu'ils ont été mis à terre. Or, par ailleurs, on dit aussi que le navire s'est perdu dans les parages de Bourbon, le 18 février 1829. |
