This book recounts the events leading up to Henry Hudson's 1609 expedition for the Dutch East India Company, through the lens of the historical and geographical knowledge of the time. The author traces the evolution of the Dutch East India Company's motivations, from seeking a shorter trade route to India to establishing a foothold in the New World. The book also explores the personal motivations of Hudson, a skilled navigator who believed in an open polar sea and sought a westward passage to India. The author uses archival research, including the contract between Hudson and the Amsterdam directors, to shed light on the complex dynamics at play and the significance of Hudson's discoveries, which ultimately contributed to Dutch claims in North America.
