The chilling story of Henry Hudson
Is how his crew mutinied in the bay
Cast him adrift in 1611
With his son and six crewmen. Hudson Bay
(Canada) isn't a great place to stay
And even less so back then, unsettled
Vast, frozen, unknown. Needless to say, they
Were never seen again... But also called
After this explorer, not quite as cold -
The Hudson River, New York. He'd begun
Charting that area for the Dutch, and they
Would build New Amsterdam there, trying to hold
Onto a slice of the new continent
Land-grabbing was the order of the day
