Message: [QUOTE="Skeets, post: 5305904, member: 10677"] Henry Hudson discovered and explored the river most people call the "Hudson River". Henry named the river the "North River". The convention is the person who does the discovery gets to name the thing discovered. Don't know how true this is, but I was told that an early explorer, maybe old Henry himself, was taking sounding of the river to ensure that they would not run aground. When they got to the bend in the river just south of where West Point is now, they couldn't find the bottom. They named this spot in the river "World's End". [/QUOTE]
