Father Jacques Marquette was sailing for France. He was a Jesuit missionary and explorer who played a significant role in the early exploration of the Mississippi River during the 17th century. Marquette, along with Louis Jolliet, sought to map the river and establish relations with Native American tribes. His expeditions were part of France's broader efforts to explore and claim territories in North America.
