French ship Adelaide (1699)

Adélaïde (or La Delaide) was a fourth-rate ship-of-the-line of the navy of Louis XIV, designed by François Couomb and launched in 1699 by the Toulon Dockyard.

She sank during a hurricane in October 1714 after having carried enslaved people from West Africa to Saint-Domingue.

[2] Between 1708 and 1709 the Compagnie de Cap Nègre chartered Adelaide to carry wheat,[2] after the severe winter of 1708 caused widespread famine in France and Spain during the War of Spanish Succession.

The Compagnie de l'Assiento chartered Adélaïde for the slave trade.

[1] The underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio discovered Adélaïde's remains in 2003.
