A large depot building burns at Hato

📅 1 October 1716 📍 Curacao

The article describes the fire at Hato’s large “negro house,” intended to hold people awaiting sale. The governor reported it in 1717 and the study treats it as a precursor to unrest in 1716. Because the date is not exact, the timeline uses 1 October only as a month-level placeholder.
