What date did Henry Hudson's journey start?

Answer 1

here is little information about Henry Hudson's third voyage.
Unable to find anyone in England to back his proposed expedition, Henry Hudson turned to the Dutch - England's greatest trading rival - and was eventually hired to seek a Northeast Passage - the direction he had taken in his unsuccessful second voyage over the top of Russia. But after a short journey north, Hudson again faced a possible mutiny from his crew, possibly led by Robert Juet. He turned his ship, the Half Moon, around and - ignoring his contract terms - instead headed for the New World and warmer climate.
Hudson explored the northeastern coast of America, eventually sailing into the mouth of a wide river near today's New York City. He hoped the river - now named the Hudson River - would provide a passage west to the Pacific. But after 150 miles (240 km) - and reaching a location near where Albany sits today - he found the river had become too shallow to continue. Hudson had to turn around and head home, again proving unsuccessful at finding a way to the Orient.
The primary record of the voyage - and the only surviving English record - is the journal of Robert Juet, who had sailed with Hudson previously as mate, and would again in 1610. He noted numerous fights with the natives, killing, drunkenness, looting and even a kidnapping. The crew was generally negative towards native Americans, and somewhat afraid of them, which may have influenced later relations between native groups and European settlers. It was hardly a "glorious" expedition in terms of future diplomacy. The real importance of this voyage was in the explorations and its influence would come later, when the Dutch settled around today's Manhattan Island and founded their New World colony. Hudson's third voyage was the first to record the European discovery of today's New York State.
There is considerable contention among historians and geographers as to which landmarks Juet identified. Dr. George Asher, whose 1860 work on Hudson remains among the most important, tried to determine modern settings from Juet's record, but many of his choices were later challenged by Isaac newton Phelps Stokes in The Iconography of Manhattan Island and other interpreters.
On his return, Hudson stopped in England, where he was arrested for sailing under another nation's flag, considered treason at the time. He and his crew stayed in England while the Dutch ship and the Dutch sailors in the crew went home, apparently with Hudson's record of the voyage.
Hudson's own log and journal went with the Half Moon back to Amsterdam, and was not seen by English eyes again. However, parts of it were quoted and reproduced in Dutch books in 1625 (see my list of sources). Only fragments of Hudson's own journal were ever reprinted. The originals were sold at auction in the early 19th century and subsequently vanished.
There have been suggestions that Hudson acted as a spy for England, using his contract to get Dutch maps for areas where the English had none. Hudson met with three Dutch cartographers during his negotiations with the United Dutch East India Company, and likely got from them maps that showed parts of the area he planned to explore on his next voyage. There is no other good explanation why Hudson broke his contract and turned away from his voyage north to sail across the ocean and explore the coast of the New World. Nor is there a good reason he sailed into England on his way home, instead of continuing to nearby Amsterdam where his employers were. Hudson was soon released from his 'arrest' to command the Discovery for his final voyage.
Or perhaps Hudson was on a mission from the English trading companies to derail or sabotage the Dutch efforts to find a shorter passage to the rich spice islands. Certainly the rivalry between the two nations was at its peak and Hudson was a product of the aggressive Muscovy Company, a direct competitor to the Dutch. England had been an ally of the Netherlands since 1577, and had sent aid and military units to help them fight the Spanish in 1584. But the Dutch were aggressive and active traders and their interests conflicted with the goals of the English. By 1600 the Dutch were the supreme European trading power in the Indonesian archipelago, displacing the Portuguese who had held a monopoly for much of the 16th century.
In 1591 Dutchman William Usselinx returned and began to agitate among his countrymen for increased trade with the New World. He kept arousing public opinion until his death at 80, leaving behind 50 printed works. He was also responsible for the founding of the Dutch West India Company, in 1621. Before then, the States-General offered a prize of 25,000 guilders to anyone who discovered a Northeast Passage to China and Japan. That reward may have lured Hudson to Amsterdam.
Dutch merchantmen had already navigated the St Lawrence river in 1607. But the most naval event of the year was the battle of the Bay of Gibraltar. The Dutch States-General sent 26 small vessels to the Spanish coast where the Dutch admiral saw an opportunity to challenge the Spanish war fleet, then in the Bay of Gibraltar. Heemskerk attacked the Spaniards on April 25th. Both the admirals were slain, but the Spanish fleet was totally destroyed; the crews and the soldiers were put to the sword. This convinced Spain that the 40-year-old war with the Dutch would not end with victory any time soon. it also made Spanish reconquest of the Spice Islands and the forcible extinction of the Dutch East India Company seem remote. The restoration of Spanish influence in the Indian seas never came about.
Dutch merchants, denied trade with France and Spain because of the state of war, aggressively sought new markets in Italy, Russia, Turkey and the Orient.
The year 1609 saw the beginning of a cease-fire in the Dutch war for independence, which had been raging since 1548. Called the Twelve Years' Truce, it temporarily ended hostilities between the United Provinces and the southern states. The truce was mediated by France and England at The Hague. This allowed the Dutch to turn their energies to trade and consolidating their hold on the spice trade. The head of the United Dutch East India Company (VOC) at this time was the ruthless Jan Pieterzoon Coen. Coen destroyed plantations in Indonesia so he could raise the prices of spices like nutmeg and clove artificially high, destroying the livelihood of much of the island populations in the process.
Amsterdam had become the trading capital of Europe by 1600. It had eclipsed Antwerp when the latter was captured by the Duke of Parma in 1585 and by 1622 was one of the wealthiest - if not the wealthiest - city in Europe. Her population tripled between 1585 and 1622 to more than 100,000 people, and her port was dense in ships, her warehouses full of merchandise.
In 1609, the Bank of Amsterdam was founded. Before the end of the century the bank had deposits worth $180,000,000, a treasure more prodigious than any European financier at that time thought could be possibly accumulated.
