The correct answer is true.
It is true that the Dutch, with explorer Henry Hudson, primarily stayed along the Hudson River and Hudson Bay area and focused on trade.
Henry Hudson was hired in 1607 to find a short route to Asia, sailing across the Arctic Ocean. At the third intent, in 1609, now working under the Dutch East Indian Company, his ship sailed a big river after navigating the coast of the Atlantic Ocean but had to return because he did not find the Northeast passage. But his trips later helped the Dutch to colonize the territories close to the Hudson River.
