28 Osifekunde and Navarre sailed to France on the Camelia, a 356-ton ship with a crew of 19 men under Captain Guilbert, consigned by Edouard Quesnel and Brothers. Prof. Yai (citing Pierrre Verger's notes) and Ade-Ojo first identified the ships which took Osifekunde to and from France. French shipping records offer more details. The Camélia departed Le Havre for Pernambuco on December 19, 1836, and returned to France on 21 June 1837. See 6 P 7_9 - Armement et désarmement des bâtiments (18361840)" https://www.archivesdepartementales76.net/ark:/50278/80949e131ed1ad3e237d3b3122b8cdbd/ dao/0/1?id=https\%3A\%2F\%2Fwww.archivesdepartementales76.net\%2Fark\%3A\%2F50278\%2F80949e 131ed1ad3e237d3b3122b8cdbd\%2Fcanvas\%2F0\%2F3\&vx=1912.45\&vy=-1445.21\&vr=0\&vz=2.25147. Yai thought Navarre brought Osifekunde to look after his children. But there could be an added factor. The Muslim/Nago revolt of 1835 caused chaos in northeastern Brazil and forced slavers to rethink their priorities. Moreover, Navarre was going on a long journey, hence planned accordingly.

the establishment of Haiti in 1804 precipitated riots that brought the French revolution crashing down from its high ideals of universal emancipation. Also, the Paris Convention of 1794 did not outlaw the slave trade, and under Napoleon, slavery was reintroduced. This policy reversal is captured by the Slave Voyages which registered at least 664 French-flagged ships engaged in the slave trade between 1800 and 1840. Although the regime of Louis Philippe (1830-48) revived the ban on slavery and criminalized the slave trade in 1830, abolitionism in France, as Lawrence Jennings has argued, was weak. ${ }^{29}$ The Voyages identified thirteen French slaving vessels after 1830, not to count those engaged in the indentured labor emigration scheme. The French Abolition Society, established in 1834, pursued a policy of gradual emancipation over the next decade. ${ }^{30}$
