Henry Hudson’s Voyages of Exploration: 1609 & 1610 Map #203714 (License: Personal Use)

The map illustrates Henry Hudson’s 1609 voyage on the Half Moon, departing from Amsterdam and reaching present-day New York Harbor, and his 1610 expedition on the Discovery, which entered Hudson Strait and explored what is now Hudson Bay. Key geographic landmarks-including Greenland, Iceland, Newfoundland, Labrador, and the Faroe Islands-are labeled, with red and blue lines indicating each route and directional arrows marking progress. The map highlights European departure points (Netherlands, England) and North American landfalls, contextualizing early 17th-century transatlantic exploration.
