Henry Hudson

Explorer Gazette

As a lot of you know Henry Hudson was an explorer for the Dutch and England.

He saildĀ  for England a ship called the Discovery looking for the Northwest passage (a water route that was suppose to get to the indies.)It was a cold winter.Henry,his crew,and his son were stuck up at a bay because it had frozen over.Finally in June 1611 Henry and his crew set sail.The crew thought they were going home ,but soon found out that Hudson was still looking for the north west passage.Angry,they threw Hudson,7 loyal crew members,and his son of the ship on a paddle boat with no ores.There are a lot of possibilities and a lot of theries.

And here is mine,they started paddling with their hands but probably made no proggress,and eventually died of starvation.
