HENRY HUDSON

My Early Life

Early Life (again)

My First VoyageOn my first voyage, the Muscovy Company ( English firm ) entrusted me to find the “thought to be real” Northwest Passage. I was blocked by ice shields and had to return empty handed.

My Second Voyage

•My second voyage was also stopped by ice shields.

My Third Voyage

My third voyage was under the rule of the Dutch and I thought that there were two possible Northwest passages but they failed and I was sent back to Holland.

My Forth Voyage

My fourth voyage was under British rule in April 17, 1610. After about one month of sailing around, I found a river and a bay that would be later named after me.

Hudson River

•The river that was named after me became one of the most popular rivers in the United States.

My Death• I sadly died in 1611 at age

45.

Thank you!!
