Fundy Bay Of
Explored by De Monts and Champlain in 1604. Probably
visited a hundred years earlier by Basque and Breton fishermen, and
possibly by the Northmen several centuries before. Known to the
Portuguese as Baia Fundo (Deep Bay). Named by De Monts, La Baie
Francaise. The year 1604 witnessed not only the first exploration of
which any narrative survives, but also the first European, settlement
on the shores of the bay. See also Acadia. =Bib.=: Champlain,
