Samuel de Champlain was originally seeking a route to the riches of Asia, specifically looking for a passage to the Pacific Ocean that would facilitate trade with the East Indies. His explorations ultimately led him to North America, where he founded Quebec in 1608 and became known as the "Father of New France." Champlain's quests for a northwest passage significantly contributed to European knowledge of the continent.
