His trip was stopped when he came into thick ice and had to sail home Henry Hudson makes a third trip This time Henry was working for the East India Company. When he couldn't get through the ice for a third time he decided to sail west. July 1609 The Half Moon makes landfall in Nova Scotia Hudson's ship, the Half Moon, made landfall in what is now Nova Scotia, in Canada. They made some trades with the local natives before sailing further south. July Hudson's crew meets hostile natives While looking for a route inland, Henry and his crew came upon hostile natives. One of Hudson's men was killed Henry Hudson and his crew arrive around New York later in Hudson and his crew sailed past the island that would be called Manhattan and into the river that would later be named the Hudson River.

He discovered a strait in the ocean that led them through the northern waters over Canada, which was later named the Hudson Strait Hudson discovers Hudson's Bay Henry and his crew sailed through the strait and into a large bay. It later became known as Hudson's Bay. June 1610 Hudson's crew gets stuck in the ice Hudson's ship became stuck in the icy waters of Hudson's Bay. They were stranded there through winter Henry Hudson is cast out and left to die When they became trapped in America, Henry's crew turned against him.

They found it a successful place to trade furs, and so the Hudson's Bay Company was founded The opening of the Hudson Bridge More than 300 years after his discovery, Henry Hudson had a bridge named after him. The Hudson Bridge is in New York The opening of Henry Hudson Park The park was first begun in 1906 to celebrate the 300 year mark from Hudson's discoveries, but there were a lot of delays and the park wasn't finished until Henry's discoveries opened up a new wave of knowledge and exploration, leading us into the world we know today.
