Henry Hudson's main achievement in his lifetime was the discovery of Hudson Bay. He explored and surveyed everything in Hudson, the largest bay in Canada, and the world.
He refused to turn back when all the soldiers wanted to go to England.
Efforts began to profit from the lands explored
In the first place he discovered the region while sailing under the command of the Dutch West India Company (West-Indische Compagnie), one of the first stock-exchanged companies in the world. The settlement of New Amsterdam (which became known as New York City when the English gained control over the area after the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War) was originally set up as a trading post for beaver-skins. When other countries in Europe started to colonize the America's, the Dutch could not stay behind and started settling as well. But that is another story.
Long story short; he claimed the area scoping for suitable ports for the West India Company. The area was later handed over to the Dutch government, in exchange for tax exemptions and investments in the financially unstable company.
Some good and great examples on where to purchase Hudson's Bay blankets include for example "Hanks Clothing", "The Bay", "Amazon" or "Woolrich". Additionally one should also check "eBay" for some offers.
They call it the hudson river because henry sailed so he got named after the river.
Yes; two important places named after him are Hudson Bay, in Canada, and the Hudson River, where a plane crash-landed recently.
that he was a great man
Through out a region called Rupert's Land which they owned. It covered all the coast of Hudson Bay and as far inland as the Western Mountains. Of course they had forts and trading posts in many other areas but only in their land could they hold a monopoly...until some Canadians started to cut into the action, making it clear you can claim anything you want but it isn't yours if you cannot control it militarily.
