The English explorer Henry Hudson devoted his life to the search for a water route through America; becoming the first European to navigate the Hudson River in the process. In Fatal Journey; acclaimed historian and biographer Peter C. Mancall narrates Hudson's final expedition.In the winter of 1610; after navigating dangerous fields of icebergs near the northern tip of Labrador; Hudson's small ship became trapped in winter ice. Provisions grew scarce and tensions mounted amongst the crew. Within months; the men mutinied; forcing Hudson; his teenage son; and seven other men into a skiff; which they left floating in the Hudson Bay.A story of exploration; desperation; and icebound tragedy; Fatal Journey vividly chronicles the undoing of the great explorer; not by an angry ocean; but at the hands of his own men.
