September 1609 CE

Hudson’s ship ascends the river over the next ten days, reaching a point about where present-day Albany, New York is located.

He decides on September 23 to return to Europe.

While exploring the river, Hudson had traded with several native groups, mainly obtaining furs.

His voyage will be used to establish Dutch claims to the region and to the fur trade that is to prosper there when a trading post is established at Albany in 1614.

New Amsterdam in Manhattan is to become the capital of New Netherland in 1625.
