Henry Hudson was from Hertfordshire, London. He wanted to try to find a short route from Europe to Asia through the Pacific ocean in both the new world and old. He took 2 voyages but failed to find the route he was looking for. Some Hardships for Henry When Henry was set sail he came to this part of the ocean that he didn’t know of and right underneath and around his boat were whales. The whales almost tipped the boat over! Hudson was the architect of his fateful tradgity that led to muting. Obsessed by the vision of a northwest passage, he often ignored everything around him in his quest to find it. That included his crew. Almost every voyage indicated some form of crew uprising. Henrys behave was unpredictable. The major obstacle was that he tried and tried to get where he needed but he couldn’t. Henry was into his voyage and wanted to continue but had to turn around to go back to England because big ice burgs blocked his way. Also Henry was very close with his dad and when he died of malignant fever, and Henry was very upset to find out that.
