In 1610 England hired  Henry to find the northwest passage. Then Henry sailed off  to northern Canada on a ship named Discovery. He was sure he had found the Northwest Passage, but then discovered a 450-mile-long passage way. The passage way lead to a large bay (now called Hudson bay). Hudson kept searching for the shores to the bay. When Winter kicked in the bay froze. in June 1611 when the weather had warmed he set sail. The crew thought he was going home, but then realized he was not. They put him on a boat with no oars. Henry was never heard from again.I belive he starved to death.
