Description
Henry Hudson: A 17th-Century Explorer's Quest for the Northwest Passage Henry Hudson was an English sea explorer and navigator who played a significant role in the early history of North America. In 1607 and 1608, he made two attempts to find a Northeast Passage to Cathay via a route above the Arctic Circle on behalf of English merchants. His expeditions took him as far north as present-day Canada and parts of the northeastern United States. Hudson's most famous voyage was in 1609, when he sailed up the Hudson River in search of a Northwest Passage to Asia for the Dutch East India Company. He discovered the Hudson Strait and the immense Hudson Bay during his final expedition, but his crew mutinied, and he was cast adrift with his son and seven others. This biography draws on previously neglected documents from Hudson's time, shedding new light on his life and expeditions. It provides a fascinating insight into one of the most important figures in North American exploration history.
