Cependant, on a souligné que Champlain était un excellent cartographe et que ses mesures très précises (consignées dans son journal) ne pouvaient avoir été prises avec un instrument aussi petit et aussi peu précis que l’astrolabe de Cobden.

Astrolabes were used by cartographers, mariners and explorers of the day to determine latitude (distance north-south). Champlain would undoubtedly have carried one. However it has been pointed out that Champlain was a skilled cartographer whose very accurate measurements (as recorded in his journal) could not have been made with a device as small and inherently inaccurate as the Cobden astrolabe. Perhaps he carried it as a spare. Or perhaps it was lost by some other early 17th century traveller.

This astrolabe was discovered by Edward Lee, a farmer’s son living near Cobden, Ontario, in 1867. It is believed by some to have been lost by the explorer Samuel de Champlain, founder of New France. We know Champlain portaged through the area in May of 1613, on a journey up the Ottawa River. We also know that the astrolabe is an authentic piece, made in France in 1603. What we don’t know is whether it was lost by Champlain. At no point in his journal does he complain of losing such a device and there is no way of ascribing it with certainty to any individual owner. Astrolabes were used by cartographers, mariners and explorers of the day to determine latitude. Champlain would undoubtedly have carried one. However it has been pointed out that Champlain was a skilled cartographer whose very accurate measurements – as recorded in his journal – could not have been made with a device as small and inherently inaccurate as the Cobden astrolabe. The Canadian government purchased the astrolabe from the New York Historical Society in 1989 and it is now part of the Canadian Museum of Civilization’s collection. Whether owned by Champlain or some other early traveller, the Astrolabe is a unique witness to an early period in Canadian history.
