1 Apr 1610 Jahr - Henry Hudson

Beschreibung:

Hudson was an English sea explorer and navigator during the early 17th century, best known for his explorations of present-day Canada and parts of the United States. He made two unsuccessful sailing voyages in search of an ice-free passage to Asia. In 1609, he embarked on a third voyage funded by the Dutch East India Company that took him to the New World. In April of 1610, he made his final voyage on a ship called Discovery. He discovered a strait in the ocean that led them through the northern waters over Canada, which was later named the Hudson Strait. Henry and his crew sailed through the strait and into a large bay. It later became known as Hudson's Bay.
