Step 1 : Introduction to the question "3. Which English explorer was set adrift in the bay that bears his name by a mutinous crew while searching for the Northwest Passage in 1611?"
...1. Francis Drake 2. Harry Hoosic 3. Henry Hudson 4. Francis Lawrence Henry Hudson's birth date is uncertain although it is thought to be sometime in the 1560s or 1570s. It is believed he started his life at sea as a cabin boy. His first voyages took place in 1607-1608 and explored the area around Greenland. In 1609, he attempted to navigate the Northeast Passage, through the Arctic Ocean above Russia to the Pacific Ocean. Ice blocked his passage so he turned his ship west and headed toward North America. While here he journeyed up what is now the Hudson River. His 1610 expedition headed back to North America and into what is now known as Hudson Bay. Here his crew mutinied and set him and his son adrift never to be heard from again.
