The Dutch ship "Onrust" is believed to be the first ship built by Europeans in N. America in 1614. A reproduction of the ship is being built at the historic Mabee Farm here in Schenectady County. A friend of mine, Howie Mittleman, is Lead Ship Carpenter on the project, so I've been putting some time in over there. Amazing stuff. If your a history or sail buff, or just looking for a day trip this summer, swing by and check things out. www.theonrust.com www.mabeefarm.org Charles
