What happened on Henry Hudson's exploration?
Henry Hudson's crew abandoned him because they were angry because the ship had been frozen in the river duroing the winter and was running low or out of food. They couldn't kill him (a mutiny) because his young son was with them and if they didn't kill him, too, then Hudson's son would tell everyone that they had killed his father. They really didn't want to kill a child- would you?
So the crew solved this problem by sending Hudson, his son, and a few loyal sailors off in a little boat. They were never seen again, and the crew was arrested when they returned to Europe

Why did Henry Hudson became famous?
Henry Hudson (c. 1560s/70s - 1611) was an English sea explorer and navigator in the early 17th century.
Hudson made two attempts on behalf of English merchants to find a prospective Northwest Passage to Cathay (today's China) via a route above the Arctic Circle. Hudson explored the region around modern New York metropolitan area while looking for a western route to Asia under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company. He explored the river which eventually was named for him, and laid thereby the foundation for Dutch colonization of the region.
Hudson discovered a strait and immense bay on his final expedition while searching for the Northwest Passage. In 1611, after wintering on the shore of James Bay, Hudson wanted to press on to the west, but most of his crew mutinied. The mutineers cast Hudson, his son and 7 others adrift; the Hudsons, and those cast off at their side, were never seen again.
Details of Hudson's birth and early life are mostly unknown. Some sources have identified Hudson as having been born in about 1565, but others date his birth to around 1570. Other historians assert even less certainty; Mancall, for instance, states that '[Hudson] was probably born in the 1560s," while Pennington gives no date at all. Hudson is thought to have spent many years at sea, beginning as a cabin boy and gradually working his way up to ship's captain.
What was the age Henry Hudson became a sailor?
No. Henry the Navigator was the monarch of Portugal in the middle 15th century who sent off many Portuguese expeditions of discovery to Africa and India. Henry Hudson was actually Hendrick Hudsun, a Dutch adventurer in the employ of Bristol (England) merchants who discovered New York in the 16th century.
Why was Henry Hudson thrown off his ship?
I think that it was because while he wanted to continue his exploration, his crew wanted to go home. And because Henry was captain and nobody else could give orders, the only way to go home was to get rid of him.
