Jacques Cartier

Picture
Born: December 31, 1491 in Saint-Malo, France

Died: September 1, 1557 in Saitnt-Malo, France

Sponsor: King Francis I of France sent Jacques Cartier in search of gold, spices, and a new route to Asia.

Cartier's Motivations: Cartier was a skilled navigator and had reportedly traveled to Brazil and Newfoundland before he set out of in own expedition.  Cartier was very skilled and wanted to help bring riches to France.  He also believed he could find a route to Asia through a northwest passage.

First Expedition: Cartier set sail in April 1534 with two ships and 61 men.  They arrived 20 days later on the western side of Newfoundland.  Cartier is also said to have discovered Prince Edward Island, which is now apart of Canada. 

Second Expedition: King Francis was so impressed with Cartier's work that he sent him back a year later with three ships and 110 men.  Cartier sailed to what is now Montreal, Canada.  The Iroquois Indians occupied the lands and welcomed Cartier and his crew.  The Iroquois told Cartier of rivers which could lead him to gold, silver, and copper.  Unfortunately, the weather was getting cold and icy, so Cartier captured the Iroquois Indians and took them to France.  When they arrived, Cartier told the king of the rivers and riches in North America. 

Third Expedition:  King Francis send Cartier back a third time.  Cartier departed in May 1541 with five ships.  Cartier settled in Quebec, Canada where he believed he had found gold and diamonds.  Upon finding these goods, Cartier abandoned the incoming colonists and set sail to France.  Upon arriving in France he was told his goods were worthless.  The colonists abandoned their settlement.
