Mapping History: Henry Hudson 400

Henry Hudson Voyages

Even if you aren’t a history buff, you have to appreciate the mapping project by my fellow Programmable Web blogger Andres Ferrate. It chronicles the four voyages of Henry Hudson, most notably the one 400 years ago that took him to the east coast of the United States.

Andres started with the Google Maps API, then layered on historical maps and points of interest. There’s even the option to see the routes Hudson took on each voyage, including the one where he discovered the Hudson River and Hudson Bay. Yep, he’s that Hudson.

This may be a glimpse into what will replace the textbook, at least for primary school education. Explore the Hudson maps and tell me what you think.

    Thanks for the positive feedback on the Henry Hudson 400 map, Adam! I think you are right: we will be seeing more and more of these types of map mashups as organizations/institutions adapt to and adopt open map APIs.
