2009 is the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson’s discovery of the Hudson River. I’m sure there were plenty of natives who were rather surprised to find themselves discovered and named, but after four hundred years these things tend to be forgotten.
In honor of this particular bit of history a flotilla of ships has been traveling up the Hudson River including an old wooden galleon. I made my way to Newburgh landing this last weekend and snapped a few pictures as it passed by.
