Jacques Cartier prepared for his first voyage in 1534 by gathering a crew, securing funding from King Francis I of France, and equipping his ships, including the Grande Hermine, with necessary supplies for exploration. He studied maps and accounts of previous explorers to identify potential routes and targets. Additionally, Cartier aimed to establish trade relations and seek a passage to Asia, emphasizing the importance of finding new resources for France. His preparations also included plans for interactions with Indigenous peoples he would encounter.
