Little is known about Hudson's early life. In 1607 he was hired by the English Muscovy Company to lead the ship Hopewell on an expedition north of the European continent, in an effort to discover a northeastern sea passage to the spice islands of the South Pacific. He reached Greenland and Spitzbergen before his path was blocked by ice. On his second voyage, a year later, he made it as far as the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic Ocean. Still convinced that there might be a separate passage to the northeast, the merchants of the Dutch East India Company hired Hudson in 1609 to lead an expedition on the ship Halve Maen Half Moon in English). Hudson had other ideas, however, and sailed in the other direction, across the Atlantic to North America. He explored along the coast of Nova Scotia and down to what is now New York Harbor, sailing up the Hudson River as far north as Albany. Hudson's fourth voyage, aboard

Henry Hudson In the spring of 1611, Henry Hudson, his son John, and seven loyal crewmen were set adrift in a tiny sail boat and were never seen again. Henry Hudson was born and raised in England. However, his date of birth is unknown. When Henry was very young, he heard about the search for the passage to the Far East and his interest was piqued. He started sailing as a cabin boy at the age of sixteen. After seven years Henry was promoted to the fine position of an apprentice. By 1607, Henry Hudson had become an experienced man of the sea. At this time an English firm, named the Muscovy Company, hired him to seek and find the passage to Asia which was so sought after. Henry began his first of four major journeys as the captain of a ship called the Hopewell. His crew consisted of ten men and his son John. Using the maps of the Amsterdam cartographer Jodocus Hondius, Henry traveled north east along the shore line of Greenland and made it to Spitsbergen. Henry was the first explorer to ever sail this far North. He reported that there were many whales in these northern waters which made it possible later on for the Dutch and English to go whaling near Spitsbergen. Unfortunately, because of huge ice floes, Henry had to return to England. The very next year, 1608, Henry tried once again to find a northern passage, however the ice was impossible for the Hopewell to travel through.

Encyclopedia Hudson, Henry Hudson, Henry, fl. , English navigator and explorer. He was hired (1607) by the English Muscovy Company to find the Northeast Passage to Asia. He failed, and another attempt (1608) to find a new route was also fruitless. Engaged (1609) for the same purpose by the Dutch East India Company, he sailed in the Half Moon to Spitsbergen, where extreme ice and cold brought his crew near mutiny. Hudson, determined not to lose his reputation as an explorer, disregarded his instructions and sailed westward hoping to find the Northwest Passage . He entered Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Bay, and later New York Bay. He was the first European to ascend (1609) the Hudson River (named for him), nearly to present-day Albany. His voyage gave the Dutch their claim to the region. His fourth expedition (1610), financed by English adventurers, started from England. Again he sailed westward, hoping to find the Northwest Passage. Between Greenland and Labrador he entered Hudson Strait and by it reached Hudson Bay. After weeks of exploration, he was forced by ice to winter there. By the next summer (1611) his starved and diseased crew mutinied and set Hudson, with his son and seven men, adrift in a small boat, without food or water. He was never seen again. His discoveries, however, gave England its claim to the Hudson Bay region.

Henry Hudson: an Englishmen in the Service of the Dutch Henry Hudson Henry Hudson was an Englishman and accomplished navigator and sailor. It is unknown where and when he was born, but his four ocean voyages put his name on several places on the global map.

He was looking for a Northwest Passage to the Orient and found there was no way through the North Pole. He eventually returned to England.

The Dutch East India Company had a monopoly on trade with the Orient and which wanted to shorten the lengthy and expensive voyage around the Cape of Good Hope. They provided him with an 80-ton ship, the Half Moon, and a crew consisting of 20 Dutch and English sailors. The original Half Moon was commissioned on March 25, 1609, for the Dutch East India Company. She was a ship of exploration designed to take a crew of twenty into unknown and uncharted waters. The Half Moon sailed out of Amsterdam on April 4 or 6, 1609 heading northeast along the coast of Norway. After encountering ice and cold off the coast of Norway, Hudson turned west and headed for warmer weather. Hudson first landed on the coast of Maine where members of the crew went ashore and cut timber to replace the mast of the Half Moon.

But only a month out of port, the Dutch/English crew of his ship was disheartened after their passage north of Norway was blocked by Arctic ice floe. Many talked of mutiny. To celebrate the Dutch role in exploring and colonizing America, a replica of Henry Hudson's Half Moon was built at the Snow Dock in Albany, New York, and launched in June of 1989. The Half Moon sails today as a living history exhibit - her cabins and decks furnished authentically with sea chests, weapons, tools, navigational instruments, and trade goods - taking visitors back to an exciting age when intrepid European explorers competed to open new routes to trade with the East.

Hudson never found such a sea passage, but he sailed farther north than any previous explorer. He explored three North American waterways later named for himthe Hudson River, Hudson Bay, and Hudson Strait. Northern voyages Historians know nothing about Hudson's life except for the period of 1607 to 1611, when he made his four voyages. In 1607, the Muscovy Company, an English trading firm, hired Hudson to find a northern sea route to Asia. European merchants and geographers believed that a ship could reach the Orient by sailing north, northeast, or northwest. They thought such a route would be shorter than any other. The Arctic had not been explored, and people did not know that ice blocked the area around the North Pole.
