In June of 1579 French corsair Juan Laguete captured a Spanish ship in the Mona Channel. There was governor of Puerto Rico Francisco Ovando Mejia on board. Laguete, who captured three more merchant ships a week ago, asked for ransom and he got it. He left governor on the northern coast of la Hispaniola, sailing towards Montecristi and nobody ever heard of him again, either of his ship.
In 1553 famous French corsair Jambe de Bois was commanding six naos and four pataches and with the help of other fellow captains, Jaques de Lores and Robert Blondel, captured several treasure ships between Mona Island and La Yaguana (Haiti). In the same year of 1553 he entered to Montecristi with his fleet and stole leather and sugar. He came back to pillage the city of Montecristi in June 1554. After leaving the harbor flag ship of Jambe de Bois was lost somewhere on the northern coast.
In June 1582 French ship commanded by so called Lorenzo seized 2 merchant ships and one canoa close to Saona Island. Alarmed Spanish authorities in Santo Domingo sent 150 men to capture him. He could see the danger in time and fled to the northern coast of the island where he disappeared.
There was also a hint about supposed French fleet of about 15 ships that was lost in a hurricane. The only historical note about 15, respectively 16 ships caught by a hurricane was Spanish fleet of galleons sunken in the vicinity of Silver Bank (which is also in the fact northern coast of the island) in November, 1643. Only one ship made it back to the port, “La Santissima Trinidad”.
