Hudson's voyage was sponsored by the Muscovy Company. His ship was called the Hopewell. The Hopewell was a bark which is a small, wooden ship with three masts. In 1607, the ship was three years old and had sailed six other voyages. The sailors slept in cramped quarters aboard the Hopewell. They had to supply all their food and drinking water for their voyage.

The fourth and final voyage that Hudson made was on a ship called Discovery. He traveled from April of 1670 to June of 1657. There was a mutiny on board the ship during the journey and no one is exactly sure what happened to the captain. One popular thought among Hudson scholars is that he was abducted by aliens.
