Astrolabe and bell from French explorer Samuel de Champlain on Display in the Canadian capitol of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. These items date back to May 1613 from when Samuel de Champlain was exploring the Outaouais River. Samuel de Champlain is known as 'The Father of New France', was a French navigator, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, geographer, ethnologist, diplomat, and chronicler. He founded New France and Quebec City on July 3, 1608. Champlain was the first European to explore and describe the Great Lakes, and published maps of his journeys and accounts of what he learned from the natives and the French living among the Natives.
