Jacques Cartier's three ships were named the Grande Hermine, the Petite Hermine, and the Émérillon. These vessels were used during his expeditions to North America in the 1530s, primarily to explore the St. Lawrence River and seek a passage to Asia. The Grande Hermine was the largest of the three, while the Petite Hermine was smaller, and the Émérillon was a smaller vessel used for various purposes during the voyages.
