Extractions: Portugal was not the only country interested in the emerging lands of the northwest Atlantic. Both England and France were concerned to stake their claims as well, disputing the right of the Pope to divide the world between Spain and Portugal. Like the Portuguese, they were interested in establishing the geography of the region, and were especially interested to find out whether a viable westerly route to Asia actually existed. This was the primary reason for those English voyages which took place after Cabot. By contrast, the French were as interested in the potential of the fisheries, and the other resources which the region had to offer. 16th Century French Galleon.

Extractions: European exploration in the region would have to justify itself not only in terms of a route to Cathay, but also in terms of what of value might be found on the New World itself. Later Exploration John Cabot may have discovered an ocean route from Europe to North America, but the information he returned with did little to clarify the geography of eastern Canada. Whether this was the northeastern tip of Asia or one of the islands that geographers believed to lie out in the Ocean Sea nobody yet knew. Over the next quarter century, however, a succession of voyages undertaken by several Portuguese explorers as well as the discoveries of Giovanni Verrazano, sailing for the king of France, proved beyond doubt that something resembling a full continent lay astride the route to the east. Section of Gerolamo da Verrazzano's map of the world, 1529. (44 kb) Enthusiasts continued to believe that there might be a narrow channel through this landmass or at least a northern, navigable waterway around it. Further European exploration in the region, however, would henceforth have to justify itself not only in terms of a route to Cathay, but also in terms of what of value might be found in the New World itself.

Extractions: Explore an Explorer! Since the beginning of time people have explored. Explorers wanted to know more about the land around them. Thousands of years ago, the Native Americans came from Asia across the land bridge to a new world. They spent centuries exploring this new land and building new civilizations and empires. In the late 1400s, Europeans "discovered" this "New World" by accident while they were trying to find a shorter route to the Indies. Thanks to those great explorers we have lots of information on maps today! There were many different explorers that came from many different lands. No one went exploring just to keep busy. There were many different reasons why those brave explorers took off into the unknown.

Extractions: Jacques Cartier was born in Saint-Malo, France, in 1491. A Breton, Cartier is still considered by some to be the "discoverer of Canada". In 1520, he married Catherine Des Granches, the daughter of the "constable" for Saint-Maloi.e., a top-ranking official in the royal military administration. Cartier began sailing at an early age. Previous to the three famous voyages to Canada, he had travelled to Brazil and Newfoundland, among other destinations. By the time he first set out for the New World in 1534, he had already gathered a remarkable degree of experience in the navigation arts, a quality which earned him the attention of the king.

MMBC Schoolnet: Exploration Gateway explorers such as Frenchmen, jacques cartier and Samuel were present in these new world regions, establishing base from which further exploration could continue http://collections.ic.gc.ca/maritime_museum/exploration/
Extractions: A NCIENT TIMES - TH C ENTURY ravelers of the ancient world explored distant regions not only out of necessity for such things as food and shelter but also out of sheer curiosity. A wide range of water craft designs were used by ancient travelers, enabling peoples from different lands to meet and communicate. With the growth of populations in areas defined today as countries, and the formation of systems to govern these populations, it became necessary to acquire more land and resources in order to gain power and compete in the world market. Trade soon became the key motivating factor for exploration while the advancement of shipbuilding techniques allowed for exploration at farther distances and for longer duration. Arab dhow By the 8th century, Arab language, knowledge and the religion of Islam had spread across vast distances. Muslim scholars (those who followed Islam) sought out scientific knowledge when exploring other lands. These scholars were first to calculate that the earth was round. Excelling in navigation, they are credited with the invention of the astrolabe . The best known Muslim traveler is Ibn Battuta who wrote about his adventurous 14th century journeys by sea and land in a book titled "Travels". The Vikings, namely Norse explorers Bjarni Herjulfsson, Eric the Red, and son Leif Erikson, discovered Iceland, Greenland, and the coastline as far south as the northeastern American states in the late tenth century. It would be several centuries before other European peoples explored the Americas.

Extractions: Main Menu While the English were concentrating on a northwest passage to Asia, the French King, Francois I commissioned Jacques Cartier (born in 1491) to find a way west to the Pacific and claim new lands for France. Cartier's expedition set sail from the port of St. Malo in [1534] with two ships. After passing Newfoundland, Cartier discovered the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in present-day Canada. On his second voyage in 1535, Cartier with the help of Indian guides explored the St. Lawrence River and passed the future sites of present-day Quebec and Montreal. He sailed back to France in 1536 after he and his crew suffered from scurvy and extreme cold. By 1541, King Francois was committed to settle in the new lands discovered by Cartier. With wars raging in Europe, the French eventually lost interest in the New World. But Frenchmen followed Cartier's route up the St. Lawrence to establish a lucrative trade network with the Indians. Cartier was followed by countrymen Samuel de Champlain and Sieur de La Salle . Champlain established the first permanent settlement at Quebec, explored the St. Lawrence, the coasts of Nova Scotia, and Maine. He discovered Lake Champlain in New York and traveled as far north as Lake Huron. La Salle wanted to establish French rule from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi Valley. He explored the Mississippi river and claimed the surrounding territory of Louisiana for France.

A special word of thanks to web adepts. In 1535, Jacques Cartier visits Hochelaga and founds Canada Canada holds Jacques Cartier as his first hero and founder. With him starts the greatCanadian adventure. In the annals of the history ofCanada, no figure, not even that of Samuel deChamplain who founded Quebec, equals the achievements of JaxquesCartier. 25th of May 1882 Founder of the Royal Society of Canada The Sacred Mountain Like Olympia of Old, residence of the gods, Mount Royal is the birthplace of a country New France, now Canada. A majestic mountain, Mount Royal now reigns over a city spreading at its feet, Montreal. First visited by a Breton explorer, Jacques Cartier seeking a route to India, this 43 years after Chritopher Columbus, this mountain then aroused the admiration of the discoverer. At awe at the panorama then offered, Cartier baptised the mountain Mount Royal, this in honor of his king as was the custom then. Today this unique mountain, Mount Royal, is revered as the birthplace of the country, Canada. This mountain, Mount Royal, has given birth to a city, now a metropolis, Montreal. Following Cartier, the island of Mount Royal here and there developed. In 1611, Samuel de Champlain, the founder of Quebec, chose the place of a future colony, Place Royale. Four years later, a first mass is said on Des-Prairies river by a Recollet father. Then follows the drowning of another Recollet, Nicolas Viel, this in the rapids of the same river. With time, the island transformed its name: Mount Real and finally Montreal with its occupants calling themselves 'montreallais'. In 1642, a colony takes place: Ville-Marie. In 1833, a city is finally incorporated. Its name? That by which the island is then known: Montreal.

Extractions: In 1524 Verranzano explored the New World for France. He searched for a route to the Indies through the continent. Verranzano sailed up and down the East Coast of America looking for a passage that would take him further west. He could not find one so he returned to France. Back to Chart Jacques Cartier In 1534 Cartier tried to find a sea passage to the East Indies through North America. He could not find a river that would take ships west from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Instead he discovered the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence River ended much sooner than Cartier expected. It ended on a high hill which Cartier named Mont Real or King's Mountain in honor of the King of France. Mont Real later became Montreal. Cartier named the area New France and claimed it in the name of the King of France. This discovery opened Canada for Europeans wanting to settle in North America. Cartier took colonists to Cape Rouge near Quebec. The colony was a failure. After this France lost interest in Canada. It would be more than 70 years before another Frenchman came to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. Back to Chart Samuel de Champlain In 1608 Champlain brought a group of settlers to the area around Montreal. They built a fort and a settlement. Champlain sent out traders to buy furs from the Indians. Champlain made friends with the Hurons. He brought missionaries to live with the Indians. These missionaries built churches. Champlain explored the Great Lakes and discovered Lake Champlain. Champlain was the first to systematically investigate the eastern shores of Canada and the New England coast.

Extractions: Jacques Cartier, the French navigator, established his countrys claim to present-day Canada through his explorations of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River. Cartier was born in the French seaport town of Saint-Malo and later studied navigation in Dieppe. His early activities remain somewhat murky, but some historians have advanced the idea that he accompanied fishermen to Newfoundland in the 1520s. Other believe that Cartier sailed with Giovanni da Verrazzano on at least one of his voyages of discovery. In any event, Cartier made his first documented voyage to the New World in 1534 under the auspices of Francis I. Enticed by the fabulous wealth being discovered by the Spanish , France hoped to do the same elsewhere in the Americas. Cartiers ships sailed around the northern tip of Newfoundland and along its western coast into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Cartier landed on the Gaspé Peninsula and formally claimed the area for France. The explorers befriended native inhabitants and received reports from them about the existence of gold and jewels farther inland. On the return voyage to France, Cartier took two Indian boys and a supply of maize, probably the first of that crop to reach Europe. Cartiers first voyage helped to change the French conception of North America. It had been widely believed that the areas only value lay in its fisheries. Carters report, however, described fertile lands and the possibility of mineral wealth.

Amundsen and his small expedition reached the South Pole on December 14, 1911, traveling by dog sled. Amundsen was also the first person to sail around the world through the Northeast and Northwest passages, from the Atlantic to the Pacific (in 1905). He was the first person to reach both the North and South Poles. Amundsen died in a plane crash attempting to rescue his friend, the Italian explorer Umberto Nobile who was lost in an airship.

Extractions: Jacques Cartier Jacques Cartier was born in St. Malo (France) in 1491. Not much is known of his life before 1534, when he departed on his first voyage. He was looking for a passage through or around North America to East Asia, as some had done before him, and many would after him. He made the crossing of the Atlantic in only twenty days, and landed on an island near the coast of Newfoundland, by then already much frequented by Breton fishermen . He sailed north, and entered the Strait of Belle Isle. He sailed into the Bay of St. Lawrence and along the westcoast of Newfoundland, and crossed the Bay to the Magdalen Islands and Prince Edward Island Micmac indians , who seemed friendly and greeted him with the words napeu tondamen assurtah we want to make friendship ). The next day the French and the Micmac traded and celebrated. Cartier explored the bay, being disappointed that it was not the straight to China he had hoped it to be. He also met a fishing party of 200 Hurons , led by their chief, Donnaconna. His sons, Domagaia and Taignagny, went to France with Cartier to become interpreters. Cartier explored Anticosti Island and returned to France.
