The place

Pointe Canon’s heritage listing includes the Gunpowder Magazine and Monument aux Esclaves. The point offers a view across the bay that helps place the sea battle in its wider setting. The cannon the client mentioned may be associated with this broader coastal heritage; the exact feature and whether it is at Pointe Canon or Pointe du Diable still need a photo or pin to verify.

On the outing

Look back toward Mahébourg and across the bay to connect the town, its shore heritage and the islands offshore. This is a contextual landmark, not a confirmed stop on Andy’s boat trip.

This approximate map marker is a shoreline reference. It is not part of the advertised boat itinerary unless Andy confirms otherwise.
