"(some claim he deliberately stayed too far south on his Dutch-funded voyage)"

Unless someone can provide a citation in support of this statement from an acceptable source, I believe it should be deleted.

Not done: I don't think it's an unreasonable message at this time - the first three paragraphs of that section are entirely uncited. PianoDan (talk) 18:06, 12 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hendrick Hudson High School in Montrose, NY is also named after him.

Incorrect Hopewell Voyage Dates

Latest comment: 1 day ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hudson did not reach Greenland on May 13, 1607 but on June 13th. The journey indeed began on May 1st but the Hopewell reached the Shetlands on May 26th before eventually sailing north and west and sighting Greenland on the 13th of June.

Source is a primary account from one of the crew, John Playse.
