Henry Hudson and His Crew Sailed into the River that Would Bear His Name. September 3, 1609. Hudson was not the first European explorer to discover this river. The Florentine navigator Giovanni da Verrazano discovered the Hudson in 1524. But Henry Hudson traveled the river much farther than its previous explorer. After 150 miles, the Half Moon did not reach the Pacific, but it did reach what would later become Albany, New York. There, they turned around. But as a result of Hudson's exploration, the river bears his name today.
Hudson, Henry. Resentment among his crew broke into mutiny in the spring when Hudson announced his intention to continue the search. The leaders, Henry Greene, Robert Juet and William Wilson, forced Hudson, his son and 7 others into a shallop and cut it adrift in the open sea. Robert BYLOT piloted the Discovery home. Greene and Wilson were killed by natives at Cape Digges; Juet died of starvation. Four of the 9 survivors were tried for murder but acquitted-saved as much by mercantile interest in their knowledge of the Northwest as by the blame laid on the dead. Nothing is known of Hudson's fate. He did not discover Hudson Strait-both M. FROBISHER and J. DAVIS had noted its entrance-but in navigating its treacherous course he far outdistanced his predecessors and discovered a route to the continent's interior of inestimable value to England.
