The sponsor of my great voyage:
King Francis I of France
He financed the voyages I made to the New World, in hopes that I would discover great riches there. He also sent out Jean Francois de la Rocque, Sieur de Roberval to colonize Kanata. My favorite mentor, Giovanni Verrazzano, was also sponsored by him.

Meet the ship:
Le Grande Hermine
The ship that led me across the seas to explore the New World in 1534 was called Le Grande Hermine, with a length of seventy feet, weighing about sixty tons. The food on board was pretty much just what we needed-bread, beer, fish and salted meat.
