Source Description
The Old Hollandia: This ship was built during Holland's naval supremacy of the 17th century. Like many Dutch vessels, it was fitter for two significant details: it had larger cargo space, and it could be handled by a much smaller number of men. This ship was the type used by Dutch colonial officer, Peter Stuyvesant. / Schooner: This picture represents the early schooner type of 17th century vessel, which had two masts, rigged fore and aft. / Hendrik Hudson's Half Moon: This was one of the many ships that were used in an attempt to find a shortcut to China via a westerly route. Hudson, an English captain employed by the Dutch, undertook the voyage in 1609. Hudson sailed up the Hudson River in September of the same year, and this river was later named for him, but was unable to locate a passage to Asia.
