Description of the audiobook The Chronicles of America Volume 07 - Dutch and English on the Hudson:
Highway. Geography is the maker of history. The route of the Dutch settlement in America was determined by a river that ran through the heart of a fertile country for a hundred and fifty miles from the mountains to the sea, providing a natural channel for the transportation of goods and communication between the colonies.
However, no one could have predicted the development of the Empire State Building when, on that memorable September day in 1609, a small Dutch yacht named the Halve Maene, or Half Moon, slipped by under the command of Captain Henry Hudson Hook low off the sands of Navesink Heights and find an anchorage in what is today New York's Outer Harbor.
