The Lieutenance - A Historic Departure Point for Samuel de Champlain's Journey to New France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the iconic Lieutenance, a small castle nestled on the walls of Honfleur, Normandy. Steeped in history and significance, this ancient structure served as the departure point for one of the most influential figures in Canadian history - Samuel de Champlain. In March 1603 and later in April 1608, Champlain embarked on two momentous voyages from this very spot. The first voyage saw him explore the Saguenay River and St. Lawrence River, laying the foundation for future French exploration and settlement in North America. The second voyage marked his historic establishment of Quebec in June 1608, which would become a pivotal turning point for Canada's colonial history. The Lieutenance stands as a testament to Champlain's courage and vision as he set sail towards uncharted territories across the vast Western Hemisphere. Its sturdy architecture mirrors both its historical importance and its enduring presence within Honfleur's picturesque harbor. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how one man's determination can shape nations and leave an indelible mark on our shared human story. This photograph invites us to reflect upon Canada's rich heritage while celebrating the spirit of exploration that continues to define our world today.
