Artist's Comments

The Half Moon, an exact scale replica of Henry Hudson's ship which he sailed up the Hudson River in 1609, sits near the Port of Albany. I would have liked to have gone on a tour of the ship but I was busy that Saturday...obligations you know....I can't imagine being recruited in 1609, to cross thousands of miles of ocean in a ship like this which, when you get close to it, was quite small. It was a beauty of a ship though and I would have liked to see it under sail.

I was not able to go see her when she was down here - you are so right - those early ships were sooo crowded! One of the Jamestown ships was barely the length of a school bus - imagine taking that across the Atlantic (not comfy going across town!). How ever did you manage to have no people in the way? Well done!

Thank you, I was actually lucky because she wasn't officially open for tours, that was going to be the next day when I couldn't be there. I would have liked to get a tour...meh the next time she comes around...
