Henry Hudson was an English explorer born in 1565 who made several voyages trying to find a northern sea route to Asia. In 1609, while attempting to find a western passage, he discovered the river that now bears his name, the Hudson River in present-day New York. His final voyage in 1610 ended in mutiny as his crew set him adrift in Hudson Bay, and he and his son were never seen again.
