Thomas Button, afterwards knighted for his effort, came out the very next year at the expense of the merchant adventurers, Walstonholm, Smith, and Diggs, to search for Hudson.
E
27:58EstherNARRATOR
He wintered, 1612-13, at Port Nelson, which he explored and named after his mate, who died there of scurvy.
E
28:06EstherNARRATOR
But the sea gave up no secret of its dead.
E
28:10EstherNARRATOR
Prickett and Bylot of Hudson's former crew were there also with the ship Discovery, and a large frigate called Resolution, an appropriate name.
E
28:20EstherNARRATOR
Button's crew became infected with scurvy, and Port Nelson a camp for the dead.
E
28:26EstherNARRATOR
Then came Captain Gibbon in 1614, but the ice caught him at Labrador and turned him back.
E
28:32EstherNARRATOR
The merchant adventurers then fitted out Bylot, Hudson's second mate, and in 1615-16 he searched the desolate, lonely northern waters.

There's a lot of talk about sovereignty in this country, and I look at this and I think this is kind of one of those seminal moments where this could make a significant difference.
D
59:37David LeisHOST
It's interesting that during the same time as the Toronto Investment Conference on September, what was it, September 14, 15, both of you were present with myself at another conference, and we were talking about a utility corridor right across the West to Hudson's Bay, in this case to Port Nelson.
D
59:57David LeisHOST
We also talked about the importance of a Churchill port.
D
60:01David LeisHOST
Is that, again, some of the other kinds of projects that we need to get on in this country so we could just create enormous prosperity as we wanna ship everything? It's not just oil and gas.

Yeah.

Build one good pipeline, and more will come.

62:23Dan McTeagueGUEST
I think if we can set a template, we can set a, uh, in motion that, uh, we can get one done, and, you know, basically dismiss the errors of the past, uh, the likelihood of, uh, a pros- a project such as, uh, Port Nelson or Port, uh, in Churchill, especially to European and even Asian markets, becomes-

But however dire nemesis may be, or however deep may be repentance, neither undoes the wrong and hudson had gone to his unknown grave sent thither by imbeciles who would not work that they might eat nor strive that they might win but sat crouching as their prototypes sit ready to spring at the throat of endeavour Thomas Button, afterwards knighted for his effort, came out the very next year, at the expense of the merchant adventurers, Walstonholme, Smith, and Diggs, to search for Hudson.

Story of the Trapper-Agnes C. Laut
T
14:52Ted LinhartNARRATOR
And that ancient and honorable body, as the company was called, reaped enormous profits from the bartering of pelts.
T
15:01Ted LinhartNARRATOR
But the bartering went on in a prosy, half-alive way, the traders sitting snugly in their forts on Rupert and Severn Rivers or at York Factory, Port Nelson, and Churchill, Prince of Wales.
T
15:15Ted LinhartNARRATOR
The French governor down in Quebec issued only a limited number of licenses for the fur trade in Canada, and the old English company had no fear of rivalry in the north.
T
15:26Ted LinhartNARRATOR
It never sought inland tribes, but waited with serene apathy for the Indians to come down to its fur posts on the bay.

We're talking about utility corridors that would create these big, right across the West to Hudson's Bay to Port Nelson in particular, and including Churchill, that should be part of the mix.

58:49William TomkoNARRATOR
Iberville seems to have exerted his influence to restrain the savagery of the Indians and save the life of at least one Englishman.
W
58:57William TomkoNARRATOR
It seems that the success of the young Canadian had attracted attention in France, and when, in 1691, through the efforts of the Northern Company, Louis XIV had decided to recover Port Nelson, Hudson Bay, from the English, Dutaste came to Quebec with 14 sail.
W
59:16William TomkoNARRATOR
It was with express orders that Iberville should be entrusted with a share of the work and glory.
W
59:22William TomkoNARRATOR
Dutaste objected to such division of honor, and by plausible objections as to the lateness of the season, although it was only the 16th of July, succeeded in delaying the departure of the expedition for that year.
W
59:35William TomkoNARRATOR
Iberville seemed determined to show the speciousness of the reasons, for he made a trip to the bay and brought back in 1691 two ships loaded with furs, much to the consolation of Frontenac.
W
59:48William TomkoNARRATOR
He immediately went to France to advance the expedition against Port Nelson, which he knew was much favored at court.
W
59:55William TomkoNARRATOR
Iberville found favor with the king, who gave him two ships for the reduction of Port Nelson and orders to guard it after reduction.
W
60:03William TomkoNARRATOR
Delays in France and contrary winds on the Atlantic brought Iberville to Quebec only in October, far too late for the safe navigation of Hudson Bay.
