Jacques Cartier By: Johnny Duncan And Taylor Amidei

The Search For The Northwest Passage �In 1535, Jacques Cartier and 112 more men left France and sailed up the St. Lawrence river to the Iroquoian capital of Stadacona. He reached the location of Modern-day Montreal on October 2, 1535, rapids prevented him from continuing. Cartier believed the rapids were the last obstacle in his discovery of the Northwest Passage. These days the town on the banks of the rapids is called Lachine, (Lachine is French for China). �The ideal plan was to find Asia but instead Cartier found an area in Canada. So Jacques Cartier failed on his mission to Asia but found a new piece of land in Canada.

Malo, Brittany (it would later become part of France). • His career of exploration began in 1524, when • he accompanied the Italian-born French explorer Giovanni da Verrazano on his exploration of the Atlantic Coast of Canada and the United States. • This experience would prove valuable to Cartier's explorations in the future
