  • "Henry Hudson was a ship's captain and an explorer, not a conqueror. He made no claims of ownership. He did not sail north of the Arctic Circle in order to claim these cold, rough places for England or for Holland. And he did not plant the Dutch flag at the deep mouth or the shallow end of the great river that bears his name in what is today New York. When he traveled north of Labrador and through the Furious Overfall, into the floating ice and treacherous tides of the strait that now bears his name, he did so as a private citizen. The driving force behind Hudson-and many others who followed in his wake-was trade and commerce. Hudson's financial backers in England and then Holland dreamed of a route from Europe to China and Japan. The lands he explored in North America proved to be a far greater treasure. - Publisher."
