Henry Hudson
Sir Henry Hudson (died 1611) was an English sea explorer and navigator in the early 17th century.
Hudson made two attempts on behalf of English merchants to find a prospective Northwest Passage to Cathay (today's China) via a route above the Arctic Circle. Hudson explored the region around modern New York metropolitan area while looking for a western route to Asia while in the employment of the Dutch East India Company.〔(''Nieuwe Wereldt ofte Beschrijvinghe van West-Indien, uit veelerhande Schriften ende Aen-teekeningen van verscheyden Natien (Leiden, Bonaventure & Abraham Elseviers, 1625)'' ) p.83: "/in den jare 1609 sonden de bewindt-hebbers van de gheoctroyeerde Oost-Indischische compagnie het jacht de halve mane/ daer voor schipper ende koopman op roer Hendrick Hudson, om in 't noordt-oosten een door-gaat naer China te soecken()"("in the year 1609 the administrators of the East Indies Compagny sent the half moon under Hudson to seek a northeast passage to China()")〕 He explored the river which eventually was named for him, and laid thereby the foundation for Dutch colonization of the region.
Hudson discovered a strait and immense bay on his final expedition while searching for the Northwest Passage. In 1611, after wintering on the shore of James Bay, Hudson wanted to press on to the west, but most of his crew mutinied. The mutineers cast Hudson, his son and 7 others adrift;〔(Did Henry Hudson's crew murder him? ) Yahoo news Possible alternative link:(Did Henry Hudson's crew murder him in the Arctic? ), which draws on Mancall, Peter C. (2009), ''Fatal Journey: The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson'', Basic Books 〕 the Hudsons, and those cast off at their side, were never seen again.
==Birth and early life==
Details of Hudson's birth and early life are mostly unknown. Some sources have identified Hudson as having been born in about 1565,〔http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/274681/Henry-Hudson Henry Hudson's entry from china Britannica〕 but others date his birth to around 1570. Other historians assert even less certainty; Mancall, for instance, states that '() was probably born in the 1560s," while Pennington gives no date at all.〔 Hudson is thought to have spent many years at sea, beginning as a cabin boy and gradually working his way up to ship's captain.
