賈奎‧卡蒂埃航行勞倫斯河流域，1534年，6月9日

1534年4月，法國航海探險家賈奎‧卡蒂埃 (Jacques Cartier) 的船隻，要離開法國遠征海外時，國王命令他尋找黃金、香料 (在當時是很有價值的) ，以及法國到亞洲的航道。

兩個月後，在6月9日，卡蒂埃航行到了加拿大東部的勞倫斯河流域。雖然他並沒有找到任何到的了亞洲的河流，卻無法抹滅卡蒂埃發現了進入加拿大重要水路的事實。


When French navigator Jacques Cartier left France by boat in April 1534, the king ordered him to find gold, spices (which were valuable at that time), and a water passage from France to Asia.

Two months later, on June 9, Cartier sailed into the waters of the St. Lawrence River in eastern Canada. Although he couldn't travel up the river all the way to Asia, Cartier had in fact discovered an important waterway into the vast areas of Canada.
