About the Ship

The L'Amitie, a 400 ton ship led by Captain Joseph Beltremieux, left France on August 20, 1785. After 80 days at sea, they arrived on November 8, 1785. There were 270 people in 68 families on board. On the way, there were 6 deaths after sickness spread through the ship (though there were no deaths once they got to New Orleans). The number of families increased to 93 due to 24 additional adults, 10 births, and 17 marriages.

When it came time to settle down: 17 families settled near Galveztown, 3 families went to the Attakapas, and 71 families chose to settled along Bayou Lafourche. The ship was also called by its Spanish name, the La Amistad, by some.
