Rouyer, merchant and sea captain, was trying to raise capital to buy two ships, one to load in Le Havre with cloth, lace, Irish oxen, and English flour; the other to load at Marseille with wines, flour, oil, silks, and possibly cargo from Nantes. A third ship could be used for trade in mules "...et sur lequel il y a plus de bénefice quand on a le bonheur de réussir... le commerce de Guynée... où l'on est quelquefois obligé d'en tuer plusieurs avant que d'en pouvoir ître les maîtres."
