A royal cédula dated 13 May refers to a Portuguese holder of a canoe with thirty enslaved divers and service workers, including people described as from Guinea, as well as Indigenous people brought from Brazil. This record places coerced African and Indigenous labor within pearl extraction around Margarita. It documents what the cédula mentions; it should not be read as independent proof of each person’s route or status beyond the wording preserved in the cited account.
