	Henry Hudson
		Henry Hudson (place and date of birth are unknown, but September 12, 1570 seems likely) was an English sea explorer and navigator.
		In 1610 Hudson managed to get backing for yet another voyage under the English flag; this time the funding came from the Virginia Company[?] and the British East India Company.
		Apparently the reports by Hudson of his voyage for the Dutch have been lost, but an account was given by Johannes de Laet[?] in his work Nieuwe Wereldt ofte beschrijvinghe van West-Indien (first edition 1625).

	Henry Hudson, Half Moon, and Exploration of the Hudson River
		Henry Hudson was the first European to explore the Hudson River throughout its navigable length and leave behind a detailed account of his voyage.
		Henry Hudson was already a famous explorer of Arctic waters when in 1608 he was hired by the Dutch East India Company to find a Northeast, all-water route to Asia.
		Hudson decided these weren't entrances to the passage to the Orient he was seeking, and the Half Moon turned north to the mouth of the Hudson River in early September.

	Henry Hudson Explorer of the Hudson River -- By The Half Moon Press
		Hudson was certainly an experienced seaman, commissioned by the Muscovy Company in 1607 to find a quick way from England to the "islands of spicery." He failed in that attempt, and again in 1608 -- each time foiled by ice floes as he attempted to find a fast northerly passage to "the east."
		After Hudson decided they weren't entrances to the passage he was seeking, the "Half Moon" sailed north to the mouth of the Hudson River in early September.
		Hudson called the river the "River of Mountains" although the Native Americans, with whom the skipper and crew had considerable contact, called it "Muhheakunnuk" (great waters constantly in motion).

	Henry Hudson's Second Voyage, 1608: The Northeast Passage
		Henry VIII's break from the Catholic Church in 1534 had isolated England from most of Europe, and for most of the century threatened war to restore Catholic power - preferably through a subservient Catholic ruler on the throne.
		Henry was also not terribly interested in the New World, either, and was more intent on his own quest for an heir than in exploration.
		He estimated it to be 40 leagues (120 miles) wide and believes the "passage is most probable, the execution easy." Henry Hudson may have served as mate with Davis on at least one (1587) of his voyages.
