During the original Voyage of Discovery, Henry Hudson and his crew carefully studied the Hudson River Valley -- trying to understand how the river worked, what animals lived in and near it, and how the weather behaved. As we followed their voyage, we also learned a few things...

 

Shipcraft
First Leg (September 13-19)
Second Leg (October 17-22)

Crewing a sailing ship requires a lot of new skills. Look over our shoulders as we learn how to stand watch, splice rope, and use a quadrant.

We use both traditional and modern techniques to better understand the river.

Presentations
First Leg (September 13-19)
