The European explorer I choice to do for my project is Henry Hudson. I bet your wondering who he is. I will tell you who he is and what he did. Henry Hudson was a great navigator and an early European explorer. Everyone believed that he was born between 1570 and 1575, in England and died after June 22 1611 (forty six years when he died). Henry Hudson lived in London with his wife Katherine and his three sons named John, Oliver, and Richard. Henry Hudson had four other brothers named Christopher, Thomas, John and Edward. Henry Hudson is best known as the first European explorer who sailed up the Hudson River. He is well educated. Henry Hudson’s life span is 1565-1611 and his nationality is an English life. Nothing was known about his life before 1607. Henry had a grandfather named Henry Hudson and his father’s first name was Henry too! Henry Hudson is famous for discovering the Hudson Strait, Hudson Bay and the Hudson River. He is a loyal servant of Queen Elizabeth of England. In his life Henry Hudson just wanted to find a shortcut from Europe to the Far East. Henry started to sail at age sixteen and started to explore on May 1, 1607.
Discoveries:
During Henry Hudson’s discoveries he explored and named The Hudson Bay in Canada. He also explored The Hudson Strait and the Hudson River. Henry was first chosen by the Muscovy Company to discover a passage by the North Pole to Japan and China. On May 1, 1607, Henry Hudson, his son John and eleven other crew members sailed from England on the Hopewell ship. They went past the Greenland and towards the North Pole. Hudson and his crew hoped if they would find an easier way to get from England to the Far East of the Arctic Ocean. They kept on trying but unfortunately Hudson and his crew couldn’t find the Northeast Passage. The Muscovy Company didn’t send him to anymore explorations. In 1607 Hudson moved to Holland and sailed for a Dutch East India Company on the ship named Half Moon.
