Henry Hudson sought to travel to new territories primarily in search of a shorter route to Asia, specifically a northeast or northwest passage that would facilitate trade, particularly in spices and other valuable goods. His expeditions aimed to expand European knowledge of the North American continent and its resources. Additionally, Hudson was motivated by the desire for personal fame and fortune, as success in finding a passage would secure his legacy as an important explorer.
