Henry Hudson

In 1607, Henry Hudson was commissioned by the Muscovoy Company to find a more expeditious way to Asia from England. Henry Hudson was given a ship designated Half Moon by the Dutch East India Company in 1609. A year later, Henry Hudson thought he had entered the Pacific Ocean, but it was genuinely a prodigiously and sizably voluminous bay. By 1611, the ships crew mutinied and cast Hudson and his son, Adrift, in a diminutive boat in what is now Hudson Bay. Today the bay he entered is now kenned as Hudson Bay. A strait and a river are withal designated after him.
