About the non-earthquake of 1534-1535
In some earthquake catalogs, an earthquake is reported to have occurred between the two voyages of Jacques Cartier during the summers of 1534 and 1535, respectively. According to P. Gouin (1994), this entry is based on a Huron oral tradition which states that before 1637, an earthquake was felt in Old Huronia (Georgian Bay Region). P. Gouin (1994) showed that the 1534-1535 event was entirely fictious and, consequently, should be removed from earthquake catalogs. Reference:
