Where did Henry Hudson step ashore in New Jersey?

Henry Hudson never stepped ashore in New Jersey.

While he explored the area that is now New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, he did not land in New Jersey. His most significant explorations in this region were:

* 1609: He sailed up the Hudson River, naming it after himself, and explored the area around present-day New York City.

* 1610: He explored the coast of what is now Delaware Bay, possibly landing at Cape Henlopen.

There is no record of him ever landing in the territory that became New Jersey.
