Answer: HUDSON
Explanation:
Hudson was a headstrong but courageous commander and a competent navigator.
Hudson and his crew traveled up the river that would later carry his name. He explored the Hudson River up as far as what later became Albany. Along the way, Hudson noticed that the lush lands that lined the river contained abundant wildlife. He and his crew also met with some of the Native Americans living on the river's banks.
His exploration of the Hudson River with his crew led to Dutch colonization of the area.
