Henry Hudson was an English explorer born in 1565 who led several expeditions trying to find the Northwest Passage for England and the Dutch East India Company. Though his early attempts were halted by freezing weather and near-mutiny, he did discover important geographic areas including Hudson Bay in Canada, Hudson Strait, and the Hudson River. However, on his final voyage in 1611, Hudson and several others were abandoned by mutineers and their fate remains unknown.
