Question

Which of the following reasons explains why Hudson founded New York harbor?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Hudson founded New York harbor because "he had navigated the area and knew of a waterway".

Explanation:

In 1609 Hudson was selected to sail across northern Russia via the Arctic Ocean to get to the Far East. Hudson traveled in the Half Moon on April 6, a merely 73-ton ship with a crew of eighteen to twenty people. He explored the North American coast and discovered the Delaware Bay a year before the English did, and his ship reached New York's port on September 3, and soon afterwards began climbing the Hudson River to see if it could find a way down that road.
