Covertly, Hudson is seeking the North West Passage which would connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on behalf of the Dutch East India Company. Rather, he makes contact with native Americans in the region and reports signs that it could be a significant source for beaver pelts which has a lucrative market in Europe.
