Sailing upstream, Jacques Cartier reached the end of navigation at a large island in the St. Lawrence River.

Elizabeth was born at Greenwich in 1533 and was the daughter of the Tudor King Henry VIII by his second wife Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister Queen Mary to the throne in 1558.
