Henry Hudson's crew mutinied and left him adrift in Hudson Bay in June 1611 due to mounting tensions and frustrations over the harsh conditions of their expedition, as well as Hudson's increasingly autocratic leadership style. Many crew members were disillusioned with the lack of success in finding a northwest passage and feared for their survival as supplies dwindled. In a desperate bid for their own safety, they seized control of the ship and abandoned Hudson, along with his son and a few loyal crew members, in a small boat. This act of mutiny marked the end of Hudson's ill-fated voyage and led to his mysterious disappearance.
