Episode 3: The Treacherous Transatlantic Voyage of the Filles du Roi | The King's Daughters: Early New France
Welcome to episode three of our series, "The King's Daughters: Filles du Roi of Early New France"!

After exploring the recruitment of these brave women in our last episode, we now embark with them on the most perilous part of their journey: the treacherous transatlantic voyage from La Rochelle to Quebec between 1663 and 1673.

This mini-documentary details the historically accurate and harrowing two- to three-month ordeal at the mercy of the Atlantic. Discover:

The grim conditions on the 17th-century ships (galleons and fluyts) that were repurposed for passenger transport.

The constant dangers of the crossing include severe storms, widespread disease (scurvy, typhus, smallpox), and the threat of piracy.

The sheer resilience of the young women who endured this passage, clutching their King's dowry and hoping for a new life as the founding mothers of Quebec.
