La Roussette's Manifest

We set forth from Honfleur with a hold full of cargo, and a handful of uniquely valuable items from Paris as a gift to the soldiers at the new fort. These items include a Silver Candelabra from the Court of the late King Henry the Great, a Blessed Chalice from Bishop Richelieu of the Church at Luçon, and an Astrolabe used by Samuel Champlain himself during an earlier voyage across the Great Western Ocean. -Marcel Dupont
