New York History and the World Trade Center

There is no truer image of the span and sequence of New York history than this image of the New Netherland Museum's  reproduction of Henry Hudson's ship Half Moon  at the Battery in front of the now vanished towers of the World Trade Center. 

New York History Net urges all who search this site for the history of the World Trade Center to support the educational efforts of the  New Netherland Museum.

Through the changes of regimes and in the midst of our present tragedy, lower Manhattan and the Hudson River remain central to our story of New York. The New Netherland Museum, through the voyages of the Half Moon, engages  young people in the story of New York.. Help them.
