HENRY HUDSON:
DISCOVERER OF HUDSON BAY AND EXPLORER
OF THE MAGNIFICENT RIVER
WHICH BEARS HIS NAME
(15??-1611)
“Oh! See there, redskinned brother, where the winding river parts,
Where the shadows glance and glisten, where the silvery salmon darts.
See that hulk approaching,—floating without a sound,
With white clouds riding up above and sides so dark and round.
