The Halve Maen on the Hudson River, 1609. Henry Hudson (c1565-c1611) was an English sea explorer and navigator. In 1609, Hudson landed in North America on behalf of the Dutch East India Company and explored the region around what is now the New York metropolitan area. Looking for a Northwest Passage to Asia on his ship Halve Maen ("Half Moon"), he sailed up the Hudson River, which was later named after him. His voyages helped to establish European contact with the native peoples of North America, and contributed to the development of trade and commerce.
