In the winter of 1610 Hudson set out one final time in his small ship, the Discovery, with a 22~man crew that included his seventeen~year~old son. Everyone involved knew it would be a perilous journey, but Hudson's financial backers took solace from the fact that the Discovery was commanded by a man who was known to be among the most skilled navigators of his generation. The crew took a northerly route past Iceland, successfully navigating fields of dangerous icebergs. Entering what would eventually become known as Hudson Bay, they soon became icebound and suffered through seven months until the summer thaw. Provisions grew scarce and tensions mounted amongst the crew. When spring came, the men mutinied~forcing Hudson, his teenage son, and seven other men into a skiff, which they left floating in the bay. The victims' remains have never been found. Four of the survivors were eventually charged with Hudson's murder after their return to England, but never convicted~for they alone knew the truth of what had happened in those distant waters.
