Henry Hudson was the English navigator who crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1609 and became the first European to sail up what is now the Hudson River in New York. Hudson explored parts of the Arctic Ocean and northeastern North America. The Hudson River, Hudson Strait, and Hudson Bay are named for Hudson.
Henry died in 1460. The Portuguese continued searching for a sea route around Africa to India, finally accomplishing this feat 28 years after Henryâs death. In 1940, a statue of Prince Henry the Navigator was erected in Fall River by the people of New England of Portuguese descent.
