Topics include - the mapping of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River - the discovery of the Gaspe Peninsula - interactions with the Hochelaga and Stadacona peoples - treachery against their Native guides - Cartier's quest to find the legendary kingdom of Saguenay - life at sea and a ship's design Teacher's guide available.
