Hudson, Henry
1607–11, English navigator and explorer. He was hired (1607) by the English Muscovy Company to find the Northeast Passage to Asia.

Гудзон Генри
Гудзон направился сначала на север вдоль восточных берегов Гренландии, но наткнулся на ледяной барьер и, повернув на восток вдоль кромки льдов, вышел к островам Ньюланд (теперь Шпицберген). Здесь ему удалось пройти до 80° северной широты. Вернувшись в Англию, он рассказал о возможностях охоты на китов на Крайнем Севере и этим способствовал развитию английского китобойного промысла в районе Шпицбергена. [rus] |

Henry Hudson was an Englishman and accomplished navigator and sailor. It is unknown where and when he was born, but his four ocean voyages put his name on several places on the global map. On May 1, [1607], Hudson set sail from England aboard the Hopewell with his son and 11 crew members. He and his crew sailed closer to the North Pole than any other explorers. He was looking for a Northwest Passage to the Orient and found there was no way through the North Pole. He eventually returned to England. [eng] |
