It has been 400 years since English explorer Henry Hudson mapped the northeast coast of North America, leaving a wake of rivers and towns named in his honor, yet what happened to the famed explorer remains a mystery.
Hudson was never heard from again after a mutiny by his crew during a later voyage through northern Canada. That he died in the area in 1611 is a certainty, and he may have even been killed in cold blood, according to new research.

I haven’t seen him.
He is probably buried with Obama’s birth certificate...
Try Neverland Ranch.
Nah....he is living with Elvis in a Miami condo.....
It will probably be easier to find the remains of Henry Hudson than it will to find an authentic birth certificate for Barack Obama.
Didn’t his crew mates cut Hudson loose on a boat with no supplies or nothing, just adrift in the Hudson Bay? Damn, talk about cold...I would have just said “OK, OK...we’ll go back to bloody England!”
He plays ten-pins with his crew near where Rip Van Winkle lived...duh....
Me neither.
I’ll keep an eye out for him.
That's the story being questioned here.
Damn, talk about cold...I would have just said “OK, OK...we’ll go back to bloody England!”
If they'd let you live then they would likely have been...punished...for mutiny. Dead men tell no tales.
It was Bush’s fault. Hudson inherit a situation that was much worse than he had estimated. Make no mistake...the alternative was doing nothing and that was not acceptable.
Lysander Bush. He wouldn't lift a hand.
