Henry Hudson was an English explorer who made significant contributions to North American exploration in the early 17th century. He is best known for his voyages in search of a northwest passage to Asia, which led to the discovery of the Hudson River in present-day New York and Hudson Bay in Canada. His explorations laid the groundwork for Dutch and English claims in North America, particularly contributing to the establishment of New Amsterdam, which would later become New York City. Hudson's journeys greatly expanded European knowledge of the region's geography and indigenous peoples.
