Before leaving, though, he replaced Bylot as his mate with another sailor, John King. The Discovery was stalled in ice on James Bay when a faction of the crew that included Juet, Greene and Bylot seized control of the ship on the morning of 22 June. They were never seen again. Five mutineers died on the return voyage. Four, including Greene, were killed in a clash with Inuit at Digges Islands at the northern end of Hudson Bay; Juet died of starvation only days before the ship reached the British Isles.
When the battered Discovery drifted into the company of a fishing fleet off the south coast of Ireland on 6 September, the original crew of 23 was down to eight. The Half Moon voyage led to fur trading opportunities for the Dutch. Dutch merchants were in the Manhattan area by , and the colony of New Netherland was soon formed.
The boy sounded like John Hudson and inspired Champlain to mount his journey up the Ottawa River. Only after the final Baffin-Bylot voyage failed to locate the passage did Bylot and other survivors of the —11 Discovery voyage stand trial for the murders of Henry and John Hudson and their companions.

Prior to , Hudson probably worked aboard other ships before being appointed to lead one on his own. Reports also indicate that he was married to a woman named Katherine and they had three sons together. Hudson made four journeys during his career, at a time when countries and companies competed with each other to find the best ways to reach important trade destinations, especially Asia and India.
Hudson brought his son John with him on this trip, as well as Robert Juet. Juet went on several of Hudson's voyages and recorded these trips in his journals.
Despite a spring departure, Hudson found himself and his crew battling icy conditions. They had a chance to explore some of the islands near Greenland before turning back. But the trip was not a total loss, as Hudson reported numerous whales in the region, which opened up a new hunting territory.
The following year, Hudson once again set sail in search of the fabled Northeast Passage. The route he sought proved elusive, however. But he could not travel further, blocked by thick ice. Hudson returned to England without achieving his goal. He took charge of the Half Moon with the objective of discovering a northern route to Asia by heading north of Russia. Again ice put an end to his travels, but this time he did not head for home.
Hudson decided to sail west to seek western passage to the Orient. They encountered some of the local Indigenous peoples there and were able to make some trades with them.
He then turned around and decided to explore New York Harbor, an area first thought to have been discovered by Giovanni da Verrazzano in Around this time, Hudson and his crew clashed with some local Indigenous peoples.
A crew member named John Colman died after being shot in the neck with an arrow, and two others on board were injured.
After burying Colman, Hudson and his crew traveled up the river that would later carry his name. He explored the Hudson River up as far as what later became Albany. Along the way, Hudson noticed that the lush lands that lined the river contained abundant wildlife.
He and his crew also met with some of the Indigenous peoples living on the river's banks. On the way back to the Netherlands, Hudson was stopped in the English port of Dartmouth.
This time, he chose to continue east by a more southern route, drawn by reports of a possible channel across the North American continent to the Pacific. On a fourth and final voyage, undertaken for England in , Hudson spent months drifting through the vast Hudson Bay and eventually fell victim to a mutiny by his crew.
In , the Muscovy Company of London provided Hudson financial backing based on his claims that he could find an ice-free passage past the North Pole that would provide a shorter route to the rich markets and resources of Asia.
Hudson sailed that spring with his son John and 10 companions. They traveled east along the edge of the polar ice pack until they reached the Svalbard archipelago, well north of the Arctic Circle, before hitting ice and being forced to turn back.
The following year, Hudson made a second Muscovy-funded voyage between Svalbard and the islands of Novaya Zemlya, to the east of the Barents Sea, but again found his way blocked by ice fields. Though English companies were reluctant to back him after two failed voyages, Hudson was able to gain a commission from the Dutch East India Company to lead a third expedition in While in Amsterdam gathering supplies, Hudson heard reports of two possible channels running across North America to the Pacific.
They traveled up the river about miles, to what is now Albany, before deciding that it would not lead all the way to the Pacific and turning back. From that point forward, the river would be known as the Hudson. On the return voyage, Hudson docked at Dartmouth, England, where English authorities acted to prevent him and his other English crewmembers from making voyages on behalf of other nations.
Hudson sailed from London in April in the ton ship Discovery, stopped briefly in Iceland, then continued west. After traversing the coast again, he passed through the inlet Weymouth had described as a potential entry point to a northwest passage. When the coastline suddenly opened up towards the south, Hudson believed he might have found the Pacific, but he soon realized he had sailed into a gigantic bay, now known as Hudson Bay. While enduring harsh winter conditions with no outlet to the Pacific in sight, some crewmembers grew restless and hostile, suspecting Hudson of hoarding rations to give to his favorites.
In June , as the expedition began heading back to England, sailors Henry Green and Robert Juet who had been demoted as mate led a mutiny. Seizing Hudson and his son, they cast them adrift on Hudson Bay in a small open lifeboat, along with seven other men who were suffering from scurvy.
