Jacques Cartier, the French explorer, embarked on his voyages in the 16th century primarily in search of a northwest passage to Asia and the riches of the New World. Instead of finding a route to Asia, he discovered the St. Lawrence River and claimed parts of present-day Canada for France, including the area that would become Quebec.
