Henry Hudson set off on his journey in the 1600's with a few other sailors. His mission was to find a water path to Asia, since the trails were so dangerous.
We found a river! Or 2.... and a bay?
They arrived in North America instead of Asia. They ended up about where New York state is today.
New York City... well not yet
Welcome to New York City (Kinda)
I was left behind to die!
Henry Hudson found 2 rivers and a bay on the journey. The Hudson bay, The Hudson River, The Hudson Strait.
He also found the location of where New York City is today.
In the end his sailors left him and he died with no way back to Europe.
