Note
The author tells of his early life sailing in the service of France to places such as Saint-Domingue, Angola and Brazil. An officer in the French navy, he was commissioned as a privateer during the American Revolution by King Louis XVI. Vence received his assignment directly from the United States Congress and fought with his ship and crew under the American flag. For more on the author's life, see Les vicissitudes d'un marin provençal: le Contre-Amiral Jean-Gaspard Vence (1747-1808) / Jean-Marc van Hille.
