While two Spanish explorers had separately landed in the gulf of this body of water, it was not until 1535 that any European had ventured up this river. That trip was facilitated by two sons of Donnacona. A British plan to control this river was delayed by losses at Fort Carillon, which would later be renamed Fort Ticonderoga after it was captured. Control of this river was then crucial to the British in the culmination of a three month long siege, the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. The subject of exploration of French discoverer Jacques Cartier was, for ten points, this Canadian river that connects both Montreal and Quebec to the Atlantic Ocean.
