The Age of Exploration: Chapter 8, Exercise 2 — Possible Solution ====================================================================== CORRECTION Cartier made three voyages (1534, 1535 to 1536, 1541 to 1542), and the attempted settlement at Charlesbourg-Royal was abandoned. The source says he never established lasting settlements; his work predated more successful colonization by about seventy years. REWRITE "Cartier mapped the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and claimed territory for France, but his attempted settlement at Charlesbourg-Royal was abandoned."
