Hudson an d the eight others were never seen again. Two years earlier, in 1609, Hudson sailed to the Americas to find a northwest passage to Asia after repeatedly failing in his e fforts to find a northeast ocean passage. Exploring the North American coast, he entered the present-day Chesapeake, Delaware a nd New York bays, and then became the first European to ascend what is now called the Hudson River. His voyage, which was finan ced by the Dutch, was the basis of Holland窶冱 later claims to the region. His fourth expedition, financed by adventurers from England, set out from London on April 17, 1610. Sailing back across the Atl antic, Hudson resumed his efforts to find the northwest passage. Between Greenland and Labrador he entered the present-day Huds on Strait and by it reached Hudson Bay. After three months of exploration, the Discovery was caught too far from open sea when winter set in, and in November Hudson窶冱 men were forced to haul it ashore and set up a winter camp. Lacking food or supplies, the expedition greatly suffered in the extreme cold. Many of the crew held Hudson responsible for their misfortune, and on Jun e 22, 1611, with the coming of summer, they mutinied against him. The Discovery later returned to England, and its crew was arr ested for the mutiny. Although Henry Hudson was never seen again, his discoveries gave England its claim to the rich Hudson Bay region. 73 de Scott KF5JRV Pmail: KF5JRV@KF5JRV.#NWAR.AR.USA.NA Email KF5JRV@gmail.com
