The Half Moon - Albany, NY 2013

Replica of the Dutch ship, "De Halve Maen" ("The Half Moon") which, in the year 1609, Henry Hudson and his crew sailed up the river which today bares his name. The Albany-built replica was based in New York state until 2014 when it sailed off to the Dutch city of Hoorn, which has been its home since. However, there are reports that the city of Hoorn no longer wishes to allow The Half Moon to make its home there and it may be that the ship will need to find another home, maybe even to return across the Atlantic to New York State.
