I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the name of the explorer who visited the area in 1609?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson re-discovered the region when he sailed his ship the Halve Maen ("Half Moon" in Dutch) into New York Harbor while searching for the Northwest Passage to the Orient for his employer, the Dutch East India Company.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
