Two well-known explorers lost their lives in search of the mysterious northwest passage. John Cabot sailed forth in 1497 and in 1498. On the first voyage he explored the region around Newfoundland in present-day Canada. There he unfurled the English flag, staking a claim for the king of England. On the second voyage, he may have explored the North American coasts, but no one really knows–Cabot and his expedition disappeared. About ten years later, Henry Hudson also set sail with high hopes. Under Holland’s flag, in 1609 Hudson and his crew explored present-day New York. They sailed up the Hudson River for about 150 miles before turning back, convinced this waterway would not open to the Pacific Ocean. The following year, Hudson led an expedition further north. He ended up in a vast inland bay that today bears his name. All that is known about this ill-fated voyage comes from the crew members who mutinied, seizing the boat and returning to England. Like Cabot, Hudson was never seen again.

Afterwards they came swimming to the boats, bringing parrots, balls of cotton thread, javelins, and many other things which they exchanged for articles we gave them, such as glass beads, and hawk's bells; which trade was carried on with the utmost good will...All whom I saw were young, not above thirty years of age, well made, with fine shapes and faces; their hair short, and coarse like that of a horse's tail...Some paint the face, and some the whole body; others only the eyes, and others the nose. Weapons they have none, nor are acquainted with them, for I showed them swords which they grasped by the blades, and cut themselves through ignorance. They have no iron...They are all of a good size and stature, and handsomely formed...It appears to me, that the people...would be good servants and I am of opinion that they would very readily become Christians, as they appear to have no religion. They very quickly learn such words as are spoken to them. If it please our Lord, I intend at my return to carry home six of them to your Highnesses, that they may learn our language."
