The following year he made his final journey. A group of wealthy Landowners, who still believed there was a faster route east, sent Hudson as Captain of the 'Discovery' to find a north-west passage. He sailed via Iceland into what is called the Hudson Strait and from there into the Hudson Bay which also bears his name. The 'Discovery' became trapped by ice in James Bay and was forced to stay there for the winter. During that time the crew mutinied, and the crew sent Hudson and others to sea in a small open boat. They were never seen again.
