Explanation:
Henry Hudson was an English navigator and explorer. Subsidized by English merchants, he undertook two expeditions in the Arctic Seas in 1608 and 1609 to discover a gateway to China, from the northeast, north Asia, or the northwest.
Still in 1609, he renewed the attempt, this time funded by the Dutch East India Company and discovered, in North America, the river that received its name.
During a fourth expedition in 1610, he recognized the strait and bay to which his name is also attached. On his return from this expedition, however, food was missing and the crew revolted: Hudson was deposed with his son and some sailors in an abandoned sloop.
