Henry Hudson (fl. 1607-1611) was an English navigator and explorer. He ascended the Hudson River and established Dutch claims to the region. He later explored Hudson Bay for the English, while seeking the Northwest Passage. The hudson River and Hudson Bay are boith named for him. In June 1611, some of Hudson's crew mutinied and set Hudson (pictured here in this late 1800s engraving) and his son and seven crew members adrift in James Bay in a small open boat. They were never heard from again.
