Detailed explanation-1: -In New France, the energy of wind and currents, draught animals, or human beings working oars was the only way of providing means of travel for people, goods and information. To send a letter from Versailles to Detroit, for example, first it had to be sent by horse or carriage to the ports of La Rochelle or Bordeaux.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explorers, fur traders and settlers used the rivers for transport. Canoes were common for travel on the waterways. Local people built ferries at busy river crossings. As large numbers of settlers and immigrants headed West, the ferries were a means for crossing rivers if the river could not be forded.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Inuit used sleds and skin-covered boats, with regional variations in both design and use. Dogs pulled sleds and served as hunting animals, locating seal breathing holes in the sea ice, hunting muskoxen, holding bears at bay and serving as pack animals in the summer (see Canadian Inuit Dog; Dogsledding).
