Comment
John Cabot… Martin Frobisher… John Davis… Henry Hudson. More than a century after Cabot, Hudson began his quest for the elusive northwest passage to Asia. After three failed attempts, Hudson sailed for Iceland in 1610. From there, he crossed Davis Strait into the treacherous waters explorers called the Furious Overfall (modern-day Hudson Strait). After months of turbulent, ice-filled water and jagged reefs,the strait opened up. Hudson believed he had reached the Pacific Ocean, but he was mistaken; Discovery was in a vast inland bay that looked deceptively like the open sea. The Spice Islands were still out of reach, but Hudson had farout distanced his predecessors—and his discovery proved to be of immeasurable value to England’s expanding fur trade.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2010 Canadian $100 Gold Coin (Hudson Bay) is that it has a unique reverse design that features a polar bear, which is a symbol of the Canadian Arctic and a nod to the Hudson Bay Company's history of trading in the region. The coin's design also includes a stylized representation of the Northern Lights, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
