    The legacy of Henry Hudson has floated into the harbour of our town. It is, of course , a replica and is "on loan" for a while. My mate Karel was there for the arrival and took this pic.
    I thought that the North Americans at least may find the foto interesting.

    I have heard that the builders of this vessel are considering giving it to Holland.

    It would definitely be fitting if the vessel was to be donated to Holland. It's a great pity that Henry Hudson was never heard of again after being set adrift.
