According to the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia, Jacques Cartier is famous for being a sailor, navigator and explorer of Canada. The most famous period of Cartier's life covers his 3 voyages of exploration to the New World of Canada from 1534 to 1541. The Elizabethan Era website reports that Cartier named Canada "Kanata," meaning village or settlement in the Huron-Iroquois language.
Jacques Cartier primarily traveled on the ship named the "Grande Hermine" during his first voyage to North America in 1534. This vessel was a larger ship suitable for exploration, enabling him to navigate the St. Lawrence River and make contact with Indigenous peoples. Cartier undertook multiple voyages, but the Grande Hermine is most closely associated with his initial expedition.
