    We continued our course toward England without seeing any land, all the rest of the month of October; and on Saturday, the seventh day of November, stilo novo, by the grace of God, we safely arrived in the range of Dartmouth in Devonshire, in the year 1609.

    Hudson has abandoned his contract to find the Northeast Passage, and has instead explored the east coast of America as far south as North Carolina, then north up the Hudson River as far as he could go. They are now on their way back down the river.

    Hudson has abandoned his contract to find the Northeast Passage. They have explored the east coast of America as far south as Roanoke Island, NC, and north into the Hudson River. They have explored up the River for approximately 160 miles, near the current location of Albany, hoping that it would lead them to the Orient – the fabled Northwest Passage. At this point, they find the River to be unnavigable and reluctantly turn about and travel about 35 miles down River to a location near the present city that bears his name.

    Hudson has abandoned his contract to find the Northeast Passage. They have explored the east coast of America as far south as Roanoke Island, NC, and north into the Hudson River. They are now approximately 160 miles up the River hoping this is the fabled Northwest Passage. If it is not, their journey of exploration will have proven a failure, and Hudson will surely face a trial for mutiny.

    Hudson has abandoned his contract to find the Northeast Passage and sailed west in search of the Northwest Passage. They have explored the coast of America as far south as Roanoke Island, NC, and north into the Hudson River. For some reason, they have begun to have serious problems with the local people. One of their crewmen has been killed in history’s first Indian attack on European people. In 1524, Giovanni da Verrazzano found the Natives here to be beautiful and friendly. In1606 the French explorer Samuel de Champlain visited the Cape Cod area searching for a French settlement location. Champlain traded with the Nausets and several “skirmishes” occurred, but no attack.

    Hudson has abandoned his contracted course to find the Northeast Passage and has sailed west in search of the Northwest Passage. They have explored the east coast of America as far south as present-day Roanoke Island, NC. From there, they sailed northward and unsuccessfully tried to enter the Delaware Bay. After leaving the Bay, northerly winds force them to the south of Cape May. When the winds allow, they sail north along the Jersey shore.

    Hudson has abandoned his contracted course to find the Northeast Passage and has sailed west in search of the Northwest Passage. They have crossed the North Atlantic, and explored the shoreline of the east coast of America as far south as present-day Roanoke Island, NC. From there they cruised up the coast of what is now Delaware and come upon a great unexplored cape. As they sail toward the tip of the cape, they see a large flowing body of sparkling water. Could this be the fabled Northwest Passage?
