jan 1, 1662 - Radisson and des Groseilliers propose an idea.

Description:

In 1662, unhappy with the administration in New France, Radisson and des Groseilliers sail to New England in search of investors for their trading expeditions. In New England, Radisson and des Groseilliers propose exporting pelts via Hudson Bay as the route is shorter and will allow them to avoid paying taxes to New France. Over the next three years, there was an interest from a few investors, but only one expedition actually set sail for the North. And it is forced back by ice in Hudson Strait, ending the business arrangements with investors from New England.
