Henry Hudson's Daring Exploits

Third Voyage
1609

Hudson tried again in 1609, using the Dutch ship Half Moon. When he reached the north of Norway his crew almost mutinied, so he went to America instead. He explored the area around New York and claimed it for Holland (because he was in a Dutch ship). He did not find a route to Asia this way either.

If at First You Don't Succeed…
Hudson tried to find a route to Asia by travelling over the North Pole in 1607. He tried again in 1608, and a third time in 1609.

	The Hudson River in New York state is named after Henry Hudson, who explored it in 1609.

	Hudson gave up his route over the North Pole when his crew almost mutinied; he explored America instead Copyright/Source
