Description:Excerpt from Year Book of the Holland Society of New York: The Story of New Amsterdam, 1917While it is true that the Dutch East India Company, interested only in Asiatic commerce, saw fit to ignore Hudson's report on the possibilities of the fur trade in the region that he had visited, certain shrewd merchants of Amsterdam dispatched a number of small ships to traffic with the Indians on Manhattan. By 1613 it appears that their agents had built three or four rude cabins in the neighborhood, perhaps, of 39 Broadway. Another vessel, the Tiger, commanded by Captain Adrian Block, happened to burn up, but the loss was quickly repaired. The oaks that sheltered bears on the slopes of Wall Street, where today bulls as well as bears are found, were fashioned into a trim sloop of sixteen tons and christened the 'onrust' or 'restless, ' a name prophetic of that restless or unresting commerce of which it was the tiny germ. With this product of Manhattan raw material Block sailed into the Sound via the East River, which he called the Hellegat after a branch of the river Scheldt near Hulst in Zealand. Whether the word means clear inlet, or figuratively what its present English spelling and pronunciation might indicate, the name is now applied only to that part of the East River where its waters mingle with those of the Sound.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
