Henry Hudson This speculative portrait from Cyclopedia of Universal History is one of several used to represent Henry Hudson.1 Born c. 1560/70s England Died 1611 most likely2 Hudson Bay Occupation Dutch Sea Commander former English Sea Commander Author

Henry Hudson (c. 1560/70s3 1611) was an English sea explorer and navigator in the early 17th century. After several voyages on behalf of English merchants to explore a prospective Northeast Passage to India Hudson explored the region around modern New York City while looking for a western route to Asia under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company.4 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 others adrift2 and the Hudsons and those cast off at their side were never seen again.

Details of Hudsons birth and early life are mostly unknown.5 Some sources have identified Hudson as having been born circa 15653 while others place it around 1570.67 Other historians assert even less certainty; Mancall for instance states that 'Hudson was probably born in the 1560s8 while Pennington gives no date at all.5 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. 1607 and 1608 voyages

In 1607 the Muscovy Company of the Kingdom of England hired Hudson to find a northerly route to the Pacific coast of Asia. The English were battling the Dutch for Northeast Passage routes. It was thought at the time that because the sun shone for three months in the northern latitudes in the summer the ice would melt and a ship could make it across the top of the world.

Hudson sailed on the 1st of May with a crew of ten men and a boy on the 80-ton Hopewell.9 They reached the east coast of Greenland on June 13 coasting it until the 22nd. Here they named a headland "Young's Cape" a "very high mount like a round castle" near it "Mount of God's Mercy" and land at 73 N "Hold-with-Hope". On the 27th they sighted "Newland" (i.e Spitsbergen) near the mouth of the great bay Hudson later simply named the "Great Indraught" (Isfjorden). On July 13 Hudson and his crew thought they had sailed as far north as 80 23' N10 but more likely only reached 79 23' N. The following day they entered what Hudson later in the voyage named "Whales Bay" (Krossfjorden and Kongsfjorden) naming its northwestern point "Collins Cape" (Kapp Mitra) after his boatswain William Collins. They sailed north the following two days. On the 16th they reached as far north as Hakluyt's Headland (which Thomas Edge claims Hudson named on this voyage) at 79 49' N thinking they saw the land continue to 82 N (Svalbard's northernmost point is 80 49' N) when really it trended to the east. Encountering ice packed along the north coast they were forced to turn back south. Hudson wanted to make his return "by the north of Greenland to Davis his Streights (Davis Strait) and so for Kingdom of England" but ice conditions would have made this impossible. The expedition returned to Tilbury Hope on the Thames on September 15.

Many authors11 have wrongly stated that it was the discovery of large numbers of whales in Spitsbergen waters by Hudson during this voyage that led to several nations sending whaling expeditions to the islands. While he did indeed report seeing many whales it was not his reports that led to the trade but that by Jonas Poole in 1610 which led to the establishment of English whaling and the voyages of Nicholas Woodcock and Willem Cornelisz. van Muyden in 1612 that led to the establishment of Dutch French and Spanish whaling.12

In 1608 merchants of the Muscovy Company again sent Hudson in the Hopewell on another attempt at a passage to the Indies this time to the east around northern Russia. Leaving London in April the ship traveled almost 2500 miles making it to Novaya Zemlya well above the arctic circle in July but even in the summer the ice was impenetrable and they turned back returning to England in late August.13 Hudson's alleged discovery of Jan Mayen

According to Thomas Edge "William sic Hudson" in 1608 discovered an island at 71 N and named it "Hudson's Tutches" (Touches).14 However he only could have come across it in 1607 (if he had made an illogical detour) and made no mention of it in his journal.15 There is also no cartographical proof of this supposed discovery.16 Jonas Poole in 1611 and Robert Fotherby in 1615 both had possession of Hudson's journal while searching for his elusive Hold-with-Hope (on the east coast of Greenland) but neither had any knowledge of his (later) alleged discovery of Jan Mayen. The latter actually found Jan Mayen thinking it a new discovery and naming it "Sir Thomas Smith's Island".1718 1609 voyage Map of Hudson's voyages to North America. Replica of Henry Hudson's ship Halve Maen donated in 1909 by the Dutch to the United States on the occasion of the 300 year anniversary of the discovery of what is now New York.

In 1609 Hudson was chosen by the Dutch East India Company to find an easterly passage to Asia.19 He was told to sail through the Arctic Ocean north of Russia into the Pacific and so to the Far East. Hudson departed Amsterdam on April 4 in command of the Dutch ship Halve Maen.20 He could not complete the specified route because ice blocked the passage as with all previous such voyages and he turned the ship around in mid-May while somewhere east of Norway's North Cape. At that point acting entirely outside his instructions Hudson pointed the ship west to try to find a passage in that direction.21 Having heard rumors of a passage to the Pacific by way of John Smith of Jamestown and Samuel de Champlain Hudson and his crew decided to try to seek a westerly passage through North America. The Native Americans who gave the information to Smith and Champlain were likely referring to what are known today as the Great Lakes (and which could not be reached via any navigable waterways). They reached the Grand Banks south of Newfoundland on July 2 and in mid-July made landfall near what is now LaHave Nova Scotia.22 Here they encountered Native Americans who were accustomed to trading with the French; they were willing to trade beaver pelts but apparently no trades occurred.23 The ship stayed in the area about ten days the crew replacing a broken mast and fishing for food. On the 25th a dozen men from the Halve Maen using muskets and small cannon went ashore and assaulted the village near their anchorage. They drove the people from the settlement and took their boat and other property (probably pelts and trade goods).24 On August 4 the ship was at Cape Cod from which Hudson sailed south to the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay. Rather than entering the Chesapeake he explored the coast to the north finding Delaware Bay but continuing on north. On September 3 he reached the estuary of the river that initially was called the "North River" or "Mauritius" and now carries his name. He was not the first to discover the estuary though as it had been known since the voyage of Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524. On September 6 1609 John Colman of his crew was killed by Indians with an arrow to his neck.25 Hudson sailed into the upper bay on September 1126 and the following day began a journey up what is now known as the Hudson River27 Over the next ten days his ship ascended the river reaching a point about where the present-day capital of Albany is located.28 On September 23 Hudson decided to return to Europe. He put in at Dartmouth on November 7 and was detained by authorities who wanted access to his log. He managed to pass the log to the Dutch ambassador to England who sent it along with his report to Amsterdam.29 While exploring the river Hudson had traded with several native groups mainly obtaining furs. His voyage was used to establish Dutch claims to the region and to the fur trade that prospered there when a trading post was established at Albany in 1614. New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island became the capital of New Netherland in 1625. 1610-1611 voyage In 1610 Hudson managed to get backing for yet another voyage this time under the English flag. The funding came from the Virginia Company and the British East India Company. At the helm of his new ship the Discovery he stayed to the north (some claim he deliberately stayed too far south on his Dutch-funded voyage) reaching Iceland on May 11 the south of Greenland on June 4 and then rounding the southern tip of Greenland. A map of Hudson's fourth voyage Excitement was very high due to the expectation that the ship had finally found the Northwest Passage through the continent. On June 25 the explorers reached what is now the Hudson Strait at the northern tip of Labrador. Following the southern coast of the strait on August 2 the ship entered Hudson Bay. Hudson spent the following months mapping and exploring its eastern shores but he and his crew did not find a passage to Asia. In November however the ship became trapped in the ice in the James Bay and the crew moved ashore for the winter. John Collier's painting of Henry Hudson with his son and some crew members after a mutiny on his icebound ship. The boat was set adrift and never heard from again. Mutiny When the ice cleared in the spring of 1611 Hudson planned to use his Discovery to further explore Hudson Bay with the continuing goal of discovering the Passage; however most of the members of his crew ardently desired to return home. Matters came to a head and much of the crew mutinied in June. Descriptions of the successful mutiny are one-sided because the only survivors who could tell their story were the mutineers and those who went along with the mutiny. Allegedly in the latter class was ship's navigator Abacuk Pricket a survivor who kept a journal that was to become a key source for the narrative of the mutiny. According to Pricket the leaders of the mutiny were Henry Greene and Robert Juet. Pricket's narrative tells how the mutineers set Hudson his teenage son John and six crewmen men who were either sick and infirm or loyal to Hudsonadrift from the Discovery in a small shallop an open boat effectively marooning them in Hudson Bay. The Pricket journal reports that the mutineers provided the castaways with clothing powder and shot some pikes an iron pot some meal and other miscellaneous items. After the mutiny Captain Hudson's shallop broke out oars and tried to keep pace with the Discovery for some time. Pricket recalled that the mutineers finally tired of the David-Goliath pursuit and unfurled additional sails aboard the Discovery enabling the larger vessel to leave the tiny open boat behind. Hudson and the other seven aboard the shallop were never seen again and their fate is not known.2 Pricket's journal and testimony have been severely criticized for bias on two grounds. Firstly prior to the mutiny the alleged leaders of the uprising Greene and Juet had been friends and loyal seamen of Captain Hudson. Secondly Greene and Juet did not survive the return voyage to England. Pricket knew he and the other survivors of the mutiny would be tried in England for piracy and it would have been in his interest and the interest of the other survivors to put together a narrative that would place the blame for the mutiny upon men who were no longer alive to defend themselves. In any case the Pricket narrative became the controlling story of the expedition's disastrous end. Only 8 of the 13 mutinous crewmen survived to return to Europe. They were arrested in England and some were indeed put on trial but no punishment was ever imposed for the mutiny. One theory holds that the survivors were considered too valuable as sources of information for it to be wise to execute them as they had traveled to the New World and could describe sailing routes and conditions.30 Perhaps for this reason they were charged with murderof which they were acquittedrather than mutiny of which they most certainly would have been convicted and executed. Legacy The gulf or bay discovered by Hudson is twice the size of the Baltic Sea and its many large estuaries afford access to otherwise landlocked parts of Western Canada and the Arctic. This allowed the Hudson's Bay Company to exploit a lucrative fur trade along its shores for more than two centuries growing powerful enough to influence the history and present international boundaries of Western North America. Hudson Strait became the entrance to the Arctic for all ships engaged in the search for the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic side. The Hudson River in New York and New Jersey explored earlier by Hudson is named after him as are Hudson County New Jersey the Henry Hudson Bridge and the town of Hudson New York. He along with his marooned crewmates also appear as mythic characters in the famous story of Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving.
