In 1610, in the service of the British East India Company on the ship Discovery, Hudson set out on the fourth of his attempts to find the Northwest Passage, this time further to the north. He sailed from the southern tip of Greenland to Labrador, and then turned north. He encountered a wide channel and assumed that this was a way to China. From that day, the bay has been called Hudson's Bay. He sailed into the bay, which he assumed to be part of the Pacific Ocean, then travelled further south, into what is known today as James' Bay. On its shore, at 53° northern latitude, Hudson was forced to spend the winter. In June of 1611, he set out to continue the expedition. Several days after leaving the bay, his crew mutinied. They had had enough exploring and wanted to go home. The captain refused to consider their demands. When the crew was unable to persuade him, they set him, his son John and seven crew members loyal to Hudson adrift in a small boat and left them to their fate in a stormy and freezing sea, with no prospects of rescue. Nothing further is known of their fate. Locating the Northwest Passage eluded Henry Hudson, but his enthusiastic description of the area near the mouth of the Hudson River led to Dutch colonization of the area, and to the founding of New Amsterdam, later New York. At the time of these discoveries, he was in the service of the Dutch.
