Best Answer

He didn't find the river, but he sailed along the Hudson River, thinking it was the Northwest Passage, a water route to the Indies. He went there twice, and the second time his ship was froze during the winter. The crew was upset and sent Henry Hudson, his young son, and a few loyal men away in a boat. the reason they did this was because if they sailed back after killing Hudson, Hudson's son would tell on the crew. The crew didn't want to kill Hudson's son, though, so they sent them off in a boat. they were never seen again.
