Where is Henry Today? From the Journal of Robert Juet

3/25 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands: "On Saturday the five and twentieth
of March, 1609, after the old Account, we set sayle from Amsterdam; and
by the seven and twentieth day, we were downe at the Texel: and by
twelve of the clock we were off the Land, it being East of us two
leagues off."
- Robert Juet, first mate of the Half Moon

Texel is an island in the Netherlands, it is the biggest and, now, most populated of the Frisian Island in the Wadden Sea and the most western of this archipelago. It would be the last piece of 'home' that Hudson and his crew of 18 would see before setting off across the North Sea in a boat a little more than 2 1/2 school buses in length.

If you'd like to take a look at the view from Texel looking out to the North Sea today, follow the link the to the webcam below for a live feed.

River Day - Arrival of the Flotilla

Tarrytown Welcomes the Flotilla 5pm - 6pm
Tarrytown Waterfront, West Main Street Tarrytown
(between Hudson Harbor and the Tarrytown Boat Club, there will be signs)

Join us for a party at the river's edge as we welcome the historic Hudson Fulton Flotilla to Tarrytown. The Clearwater and Mystic Whaler will be docked at the Tarrytown Boat club (next to Striped Bass), the John J Harvey Fireboat, Governor Cleveland Tug and Riverkeeper's teaching boat will be docked at the Hudson Harbor bulkhead. Both the Clearwater and Riverkeeper vessel will be welcoming visitors aboard, come and learn about their ecological work and the history of "America's First River".

At 6:00pm our party really gets underway with a performance from Zydegroove, playing their brand of infectious Lousianna Zydeco, a rich musical gumbo derived from Creole, Cajun, French, Caribbean and Scotch/Irish residents of the port city of New Orleans. The lively call-and-response style, driven by rhythmic accordion, is guaranteed to inspire dancing and good times for young and old. There will be food available at the waterfront and a shuttle to ferry people up to the many wonderful restaurants on Main Street.

The evening will close with fireworks at dusk. They will be launched from the GM site and visible from both villages.
