The 13 Featured Pathfinders in Canadian History. Leif Erikson (970 1020) – The son of Erik the Red is the first known European to have set foot on Canadas shores. Setting sail from Greenland in the year 1000, Leif and his companions likely sighted the shores of Baffin Island (Helluland) and Labrador (Markland) before landing and wintering near LAnse aux Meadows, Newfoundland and Labrador, site of the only authenticated Viking settlement in North America. John Cabot (1455 1498) – Born Giovanni Caboto in Gaeta (near Naples), Italy, John Cabot and his crew were the second known group of Europeans to reach present-day Canada. Sailing under the flag of England, Cabot spotted land during his 1497 voyage and skirted the east coast of Newfoundland, where he briefly disembarked. Jacques Cartier (1491 1557) – Born in Saint-Malo, France, the French navigator was seeking a northwest route to Asia when he reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence River as far west as Hochelaga (site of present-day Montréal) and the Lachine Rapids. Martin Frobisher (1539 1594) – A former privateer, Frobisher dreamed of finding a fabled Northwest Passage. In 1576, he became the first European to reach the waterway that now bears his name, Frobisher Bay (Nunavut). He completed two more Arctic voyages, in 1577 and 1578, and was the first European to attempt to mine for gold in Northern Canada. Henry Hudson (1570 1611) – Hudson made several attempts to find the Northwest Passage. In 1610, his exploration of the Davis Strait led him to the strait that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the immense bay that now bears his name, Hudson Bay. Samuel de Champlain (1574 1635) – The Father of New France was a skilled cartographer who surveyed portions of the Atlantic coastline, the St. Lawrence River and parts of the Great Lakes. His writings and charts laid the foundation for further exploration inland. In 1608, he built the first permanent (and continuous) habitation in New France on the site of present-day city of Québec. René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle (1643 1687) – After his arrival in 1667, the former Jesuit set up a fur trade outpost near the Lachine Rapids. He completed several expeditions down the Ohio, Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, where he set up a network of forts and trading posts and claimed huge regions of land for France. Upon reaching the Gulf of Mexico in 1682, he named the region La Louisiane in honour of King Louis XIV. Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, Sieur de La Vérendrye (1685 1749) – Born in Trois-Rivières, La Vérendrye dreamed of finding the western sea that lay beyond the Great Lakes. With the help of Indigenous guides, La Vérendrye and his crew including four sons pushed far west as he explored the lakes and rivers of Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan. He was part of a process that added Western Canada to the original New France territory. George Vancouver (1757 1798) – A talented cartographer, Vancouver was a member of James Cooks expedition to the northwest in 1778, when they became the first known Europeans to set foot on Canadas Pacific shores. Between 1791 and 1795, he charted the west coast from 30 N to 56 N and travelled some 96,200 km in his quest for the Northwest Passage. Alexander Mackenzie (1764 1820) – The Scottish-born fur trader was the first European explorer to reach the Pacific by crossing the continent. Helped by Indigenous guides, Mackenzies first expedition in 1789 led him down the long river that bears his name, the Mackenzie River, until he reached the Arctic Ocean. Shanawdithit (1801 1829) – The last surviving member of the Beothuk Nation in Newfoundland, Shanawdithit was taken by the British in 1823 and learned English while working as a servant. After moving to St. Johns in 1828, she played a key role in preserving Beothuk culture and history through her illustrations and translation work. John Franklin (1786 1847) – Franklin led four Arctic expeditions, including one in 1826 that mapped the coastline west of Coppermine River. Last seen in Baffin Bay in 1845, the disappearance of Franklin, his crew and his two ships, the Erebus and the Terror, became one of the great mysteries of the age of exploration. Kate Rice (1882 1963) – Dubbed Extraordinary Woman of the Wilds, Canadas first prominent female prospector was born in St. The former teacher turned homesteader learned the Cree language and took up prospecting in Northern Manitoba. Her copper and nickel discoveries helped transform Thompson, Manitoba into an important mining hub.

The symbols 16 fixed points are set against engraved lines that emanate from a centre circle and form a 32-point compass rose. A fleur-de-lis marks the north N position; it is also a representation of a persons True north, like a moral compass in the face of the unknown. Cresting waves and an inner ring of etched clouds frame the image, which includes a network of wind rose lines and a mythical creature in each quadrant. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. When I was little, my parents had a wonderful book that contained a beautiful antique star chart. I used to pore over the intricate, hand-etched characters overlaying the constellations conjured in the imaginations of those who raised their eyes to the sky. With this coin design, I realized the best approach was to simply indulge my passion for maps and atlases! The compass rose (or wind rose) made its first appearance in the late-13th century. Compared to the cluttered directional lines of older maps, the compass rose is a simple (but beautifully ornate) way of indicating the orientation of the directions on a map. Today, a contemporary compass rose motif can be seen on compasses, modern nautical charts and navigational systems, including global-positioning systems (GPS) and very high frequency omni-directional range (VOR) system. A compass roses may feature four, eight, 16 or even 32 points (both are on the coins reverse). While the four-point compass rose is limited to the main winds/cardinal directions (north, east, south, west), a more common eight-point symbol includes four cardinal directions and four ordinal directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest). Sixteen points add the intermediate cardinal points (north-northeast, east-northeast, etc). And the mariners compass rose takes it a step further with 16 extra fractional divisions i. North by east, northeast by north, etc. Naming all 32 points is known as Boxing the compass. Maps didnt always feature the north as the primary direction. Some map makers drew charts with southern points at the top, and European cartographers occasionally looked to the eastthe direction of Jerusalem in the Mediterranean regionas the maps starting point. The fleur-de-lis has appeared on compass roses since the 16th century. It may be a French symbol, but the fleur-de-lis first appeared on a wind rose credited to a Portuguese cartographer. Before that, the letter T for tramontane (the name of the northerly wind) often represented the north. Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box. 99.99% pure silver. Pandora Young (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).
