Historical notes:
Port Galant was at the southernmost part of Patagonia, Chile. The expedition was forced to spend two weeks there in March 1696 because of bad weather.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.
