During the original Half Moon's 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 explore the Fresh River of modern New Netherland, we also learn a few things.

We'll update this page with new entries as our crew members progress through their Voyage of Discovery.

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

Barometric Pressure	Comp. Temps.	Humidity	Celestial Tracking	Solar Energy
Mechanical Advantage	Current Speed	Water Depth	Wind Speed	Wildlife

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

We don't just learn new things... we teach our crewmates what we've learned, too. Click the image at right to follow the students' progress.
