An English captain sailed his ship the Discovery through what is know known as the Hudson
Strait. That English captain is Henry Hudson. Henry believed he had found the western ocean, he
thought it would take him to Asia. In the middle of winter Henry got trapped at what is now
Hudson Bay. The harsh winter made his crew suffer from starvation and scurvy.
Giovanni Da Verrazano was first a pirate, preying on Spanish and Portugal sea vessels. King
Francis 1 asked Giovanni to go search for the North West Passage.King Francis 1 knew he was
going against The treaty of Tordesillas. He made a official French expedition because he was
aware of the riches to be gained. While he was sailing he saw a narrow strip of land, Pamlico
Sound which is part of the Atlantic ocean. He thought that North was split into two and Pamlico
Sound is connecting it. His error was made into two maps and the error stayed for a century.
There are many reasons for Exploration. One is that they needed spices, they need to preserve
their meat with salt. So it tasted pretty bad, with spices they could make it tasted good or very
better.Another reason is that they wanted to spread their religion. They wanna make people
become christian. Another reason is to gain riches.
