贾奎．卡蒂埃航行劳伦斯河流域，1534年，6月9日

1534年4月，法国航海探险家贾奎．卡蒂埃 (Jacques Cartier) 的船只，要离开法国远征海外时，国王命令他寻找黄金、香料 (在当时是很有价值的) ，以及法国到亚洲的航道。

两个月后，在6月9日，卡蒂埃航行到了加拿大东部的劳伦斯河流域。虽然他并没有查找任何到的了亚洲的河流，却无法抺灭卡蒂埃发现了进入加拿大重要水路的事实。


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.
