This river served as a vital artery for trade and communication among colonies. Little did anyone know, on that fateful September day in 1609, when the small Dutch yacht named the Halve Maene, or Half Moon, captained by the intrepid Henry Hudson, glided past the sandy hook at Navesink Heights and anchored in what is now New Yorks outer harbor, it was the dawn of the Empire States remarkable evolution.
