Which explorer sailed for the Dutch despite being originally from England?

Henry Hudson is the explorer who sailed for the Dutch despite being originally from England. He is well-known for his voyages in the early 17th century, during which he explored parts of what is now Canada and the northeastern United States. Hudson made significant discoveries, including the Hudson River and Hudson Bay, which were named after him. His expeditions were primarily funded by the Dutch East India Company, highlighting the early global competition for trade routes and exploration during that time.

In contrast, Francisco Coronado was a Spanish explorer known for his expeditions in the southwestern United States, particularly in search of the mythical Seven Cities of Gold. Ferdinand Magellan, also known for his maritime explorations, led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe under the Spanish flag. Francis Drake, from England, was a privateer and explorer who sailed under the English crown and is famed for his circumnavigation of the globe but did not sail for the Dutch.
