Yes, Henry Hudson sailed for the Dutch primarily because he struggled to secure backing from English sponsors for his exploratory ventures. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a northeast passage to Asia, he turned to the Dutch, who were eager to expand their trade and exploration. The Dutch East India Company provided the support he needed, ultimately leading to his famous voyages in search of a northwest passage.
