De Monts, with Champlain and the other noblemen, left Havre de Grace on the
7th April, 1604, while Pont Grave, with the other vessel, followed three
days later, to rendezvous at Canseau.

Taking a more southerly course than he had originally intended, De Monts
came in sight of La Heve on the 8th of May, and on the 12th entered
Liverpool harbor, where he found Captain Rossignol, of Havre de Grace,
carrying on a contraband trade in furs with the Indians, whom he arrested,
and confiscated his vessel.
