About Henry Hudson

In 1610 England hired Henry to find the Northwest passage.  he sailed on a ship called Discovery.  He was sure he found the passage when ha discovered a 450 mile long  passageway.  In 1611 the passageway was soon called the Hudson strait, it led to a large bay now called The Hudson bay.  In the winter the bay froze, so the ship was froze  in  the ice.  They had to spend the winter frozen in ice.when the weather warmed they set sail back to England.  That’s what you think.  When the crew  found out that he was sailing away from home they put him and a few  other people in a small boat and left them there.  They were never heard from again.  I think that he got sick and died from drinking the sea water.
