The mutinous crew of Henry Hudson's fourth voyage sets Henry, his son and seven loyal crew members adrift in an open boat in what is now Hudson Bay; they are never heard from again.
Henry Hudson and his loyal crew are set adrift in Hudson Bay following a mutiny.
During his fourth Arctic expedition, explorer Henry Hudson faced growing dissent among his crew aboard the Discovery. On June 23, 1611, the mutinous sailors seized control and cast Hudson, his teenage son, and seven loyal men adrift in a small open boat. They were left in what is now called Hudson Bay and were never seen again. The mutiny likely stemmed from harsh conditions and fears of starvation. Hudson's earlier voyages had expanded European knowledge of North American waterways. The mysterious fate of Hudson and his companions remains one of the great unsolved stories of exploration.
