Roberval ordered him to stay and not to go back to
France
Cartier disobeyed him and left for France
Charlesbourg-Royal

●
is now called CapRouge, Quebec

abandoned due to
bad weather,
disease, and
attacks from the
natives
How Did He Change Canadian History?

Canada
instead of a
route to Asia
● he misheard
Kanata as
Canada and to
this day it's
still called

misinterpreted the
word as 'Canada'

Round
●
●
●
used to deliver cargo and in the military
has a spherical canopy
not used very much anymore
Ram-air
●
●
●
very modern parachute design
invented by Domina Jalbert
around the 70s the ram air became
more popular than the round
How Did The Invention of This Make a
Difference Now?
Modern parachutes are
still used for the same
purpose, but most are
made of nylon now.
Without the designs
from the Renaissance,
we wouldn't have this
wonderful innovation!
