David Kirke captured an area explored by Jacques Cartier, what was it called?
David Kirke Sir David Kirke (c. 1597–1654) (a.k.a. David Ker) was an adventurer, colonizer and governor for the king of England. He is best known for his successful capture of New France in 1629 during the Thirty Years' War and his subsequent governorship of lands in Newfoundland. A favourite of Charles I of England, the fall of the Crown during the English Civil War led to Kirke's downfall. It is believed he died in prison.
Deliverance Point Deliverance Point ( ) is a rocky point 2.5 nmi south of Cape Tuxen on the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and was so named because Charcot and two companions were rescued here after being separated from the ship "Pourquoi-Pas?" for several days, while on an exploration of the area in a small boat.
