EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1535, depicts Jacques Cartier's ship, the flagship of his third voyage to North America, anchored at the mouth of the St. Charles River. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the harsh realities of winter in the New World. The river, once teeming with life, is now completely frozen, allowing the ship to be anchored in place. Sailors can be seen braving the icy conditions, walking about the ship and setting up camp on the frozen riverbank. Two other ships, similarly frozen in the background, add to the surreal tableau. Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, had set sail from France in search of new lands and resources. He had already discovered the St. Lawrence River and had established a settlement at present-day Quebec City. However, during this third voyage, his ships became trapped in the ice, forcing him and his crew to spend the winter in the New World. Despite the harsh conditions, the crew managed to survive, and Cartier continued his exploration of the region in the spring. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the crew during their winter encampment, providing a fascinating insight into 16th-century exploration and survival in the New World. The frozen river and anchored ships serve as a reminder of the unforgiving nature of the natural world and the resilience of the human spirit.
