Canadian Ancestry - Acadia - Did you know?
Merchants and explorers, such as cartographer Samuel de Champlain and Lieutenant General Pierre Dugua (known as Sieur de Monts), sailed to Acadia and settled in Ile Ste-Croix in the summer and early fall of 1604. They had built a chapel, houses, and stores. However, in the winter of 1604, the lack of fruits and vegetables in the area led to a scurvy outbreak. Out of the 79 people who sailed from France, 65 fell ill, and 35 died of scurvy. The remaining men decided to move to Port-Royal, where they established a permanent settlement and named it New France.
