Jacques Cartier was a Breton navigator and explorer, the first great French explorer in North America.
He was commissioned by Francis I of France to search for the northwest passage to the Indies. In 1534 he left Saint Malo, arrived in Newfoundland, traveled New Brunswick and touched Canadian land in Gaspe, where he made contact with the Indians. In 1535 he made his second voyage and discovered the river Saint Lawrence; he reached its mouth, and shortly after ascended the river, and reached as far as the city of Montreal later was established. On this voyage he learned the name of Canada, and in 1536 returned to France. In 1541 he embarked on a third voyage under the command of J.F. de la Roque, lord of Roberval, with whom he tried to found a colony. Cartier, however, separated from the expedition and he returned to his own country.
The maps he made, allowed the Gulf and the St. Lawrence River to appear for the first time in cartographic representations of the world.
