Tashi,(May 1st) So you've chosen Henry Hudson - Yaseen is doing him too, which is great -- perhaps you two will enjoy cowriting the research. I have read your answers to the chapters and for the most part you are doing a good job of accurately answering the questions. (Chapters 4-5 were not complete) Please see my page for your upcoming assignments, see you on Wednesday, Oksana

[][] **Henry Hudson** (b.? - d. 1611) English navigator and explorer who set sail on four voyages in his lifetime. He looked for a Northwest Passage, discovered the Hudson Bay and Hudson River. His efforts led to the eventual establishment of New Amsterdam (later called New York). During his last voyage in 1610, rebellious mutineers seized Hudson, his son, and seven others and set them adrift in a small boat without provisions. They were never heard from again.

**Despite his recent arrest** for sailing under another nation's flag, Henry Hudson managed to get support from English backers for another voyage, this time in search of a [|Northwest Passage], one he had wanted to pursue almost since the start of his voyages. The main sponsor this time was Sir Thomas Smythe - governor and treasurer of the Virginia Company, and also of the English East India Company. Smythe desperately needed to recoup his losses after a disaster that saw his last fleet to Virginia scattered, with hundreds of men lost. He may not have paid Hudson for his services - rather, it may have been Hudson's payment for Smythe getting Hudson out of house arrest. **Click image for a map of this voyage.** []
