Explorations of Jacques Cartier |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The French navigator Jacques Cartier led three expeditions to North America, all funded by King Francis I. He claimed the area he discovered for France, and named the St Lawrence River, which he explored as far as Hochelaga (the site of present-day Montreal). The last expedition (1541) returned to Hochelaga. | ||||||
