Jacques Cartierâs First North American Voyage. Cartier was believed to have traveled to Brazil and Newfoundland before 1534. That year, the government of King Francis I commissioned Cartier to lead an expedition to the ânorthern lands,â as the east coast of North America was then known.
Like his mentor Hudson, Cartier wanted to find a Northwest Passage to India and the Spice Islands, though his motivation was different. Cartierâs family was the premier watch manufacturer of Europe, and he was looking for new places to trade. On his first voyage in 1534, Cartier sailed westward from France across the Arctic Ocean. It was during this journey that he named the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. He returned to France dejected, though, because he had been unable to sell any watches.
