Explorer Samuel de Champlain arrived on the ship ''Don de Dieu'',〔 〕 or "Gift of God" to found Quebec in 1608. ''Don de Dieu'' is one of three ships that set sail from France under Captain Henry Couillard 〔 〕 in the spring of 1608 to Tadoussac, from where the men, bringing the materials, reached on small boats what is now the Vieux-Québec (Canada), on July 3, 1608, date of the founding of Quebec City.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 The ship is remembered in the motto of Quebec City: ''Don de Dieu feray valoir,'' "I shall put God's gift to good use." ==1633 voyage to Quebec== In 1633, Cardinal Richelieu appointed Champlain as his lieutenant, giving him the opportunity to return to Quebec. (Champlain had been removed from his position as Governor of Quebec the prior year and had dedicated himself to working on a new edition of his voyages.) In March 1633, Champlain set sail for Quebec with about 200 colonists in three ships, ''Don de Dieu'', ''St. Pierre'', and ''St. Jean''. He was received in Quebec with "loud acclamations."〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don de Dieu (ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
