meet me in Kinderhook, Captain Hook!
Do you live in the area ???
I think you should be able to go down and see the ship...
Your kids will love it...
Its painted all different bright colors just like the original one was...
It was neat to see it and go onboard..I saw it at Albany, NY
Every Sept for about a week middle school students get to travel up river for a week on it, stopping at each place on the date and time that corelates to what Henry Hudson wrote in his ships log about his journey..
The school kids have been doing that for a few years...
They start down near the Battery and stop for the night at each place he stopped...all the way up to his turning around point at Albany, NY
They study history, navigation, etc as they go...
I dont know how they are selected but it would be more for local schools along the river I would think...
