	The Virtual Museum of New-France: Jacques Cartier
		We do not know how Jacques Cartier learned the art of navigation, but Saint-Malo, the town where he was born between the summer and winter of 1493, was at the time one of the most important ports in Europe.
		Some ten years later, Jacques Cartier was a sufficiently experienced navigator to be asked by Francis I to undertake the official exploration of North America.
		Cartier admitted the death of Donnacona, but claimed that the others "had remained in France where they were living as great lords; they had married and had no desire to return to their country".

	Jacques Cartier's Discovery
		Jacques Cartier was born at St. Malo in 1494, and was commissioned by the same French king, Francis I, and put in command of an expedition to explore the New World.
		The result of this decision brought with it extreme suffering from the rigors of a climate to which the new-comers were wholly unaccustomed, augmented by the affliction of the scurvy, from which disease twenty-five of his men died.
		The invitation was accepted, and Cartier, imitating the infamy of the Spanish conquerors of the southern part of the continent, treacherously sailed away with them to France as captives, where they all soon died of grief.

		During a third voyage to Canada, undertaken in the year 1541, with five ships, Jacques Cartier passed the winter at the entrance of the River Cap-Rouge, fortifying his position for fear of being molested by the neighbouring savages.
		Cartier, however, persisted in setting sail for France, and the issue of Roberval's attempts at colonization afterwards justified the conduct of the discoverer of Canada.
		Cartier assumed command of this expedition, and hence his fourth voyage (1543) of which we have no details.

	Gulf of Saint Lawrence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river goes into the gulf through the Jacques Cartier Strait between the Côte-Nord region of Quebec and the north shore of Anticosti Island, and the Honguedo Strait between the south shore of Anticosti Island and the Gaspé Peninsula.
		It leakes into the Atlantic through the Strait of Belle Isle, between Newfoundland and Labrador, the Cabot Strait between Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island, and the Strait of Canso between peninsular Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island.
		It should be noted that since construction of the Canso Causeway in 1955, the Strait of Canso does not permit free-flowing exchange of waters between the gulf and the Atlantic.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		Cartier discovered the gulf, he drew a map of it, and he had caught a glimpse of the hinterland.
		Cartier was no doubt a man who liked to do himself well; a note in a registry of births, marriages, and deaths associates him with the “hearty tipplers.” The documents of this period usually designate him as a “noble homme,” which places him in the well-established bourgeoisie.
		Cartier discovered one of the greatest rivers in the world, and he marks the starting-point of France’s occupation of three-quarters of a continent.

	History of Nova Scotia, Bk1, Pt1, Ch3, Early European Explorers.
		Before we deal with such known explorers as Cabot and Cartier, we must acknowledge the thousands of seafaring men, who, in the process of making a living, came to the shores of America, especially those that are washed by the waters that flow over the great fishing banks of the northwestern Atlantic.
		Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), in 1534 received a royal commission from the French king "to discover certain islands and lands where it is said that a great quantity of gold, and other precious things, are to be found."13 Cartier had two ships and 61 men.
		The principal point to be made of Cartier's voyages is that Cartier had claimed the explored lands for the King of France; and, at least around the mouth of the St. Lawrence, this was the same territory which Cabot had ceremoniously claimed for England, 40 odd years earlier.
