Henry Hudson was hired to find the Northwest Passage.  He sailed to northern Canada in a ship called Discovery.  He thought he found his goal when he found a 450 mile long passageway.  It was called Hudson Strait bu him that led to a bay,calling it Hudson Bay.  Hudson kept on searching the shores for water routs to the Pacific Ocean. Discovery  froze in the snowy ice by the winter. Hudson and his crew spent the whole time in a hut. In June 1611,the weather warmed out and Hudson set sail again. His crew thought he was sailing back home,but he wasn’t. He was sailing west to continue searching for the Northwest Passage. His crew put Hudson,his son,and other lawyers on a boat,but without any oars,which left them stranded in the bay. They were never heard of again. I think they got stranded in the bay too long and died in the bay.
