When I saw "the Hudson" I thought of the Hudson River. It seemed plausible he might be able to row to Lake Winnipeg and then follow rivers and portages to Lake Superior, and from there paddle his way down to Lake Erie and the down the Erie Canal to the Hudson. Not exactly an easy trip, but NYC seemed to me like a better place to find a steamship to Finland than Hudson Bay!
