Cornelius Hendrickson

Cornelius Hendrickson was a Dutch mariner and explorer who charted the North American coastline near present-day New Jersey.

Over the winter, Block and his crew built the Onrust (Restless), which he used to explore the East River and Long Island Sound.

[4] In mid-to-late 1615, Hendrickson sailed into Godins Bay (Delaware Bay) and up the Zuyd Rivier (South River) to the Schuylkill River, searching for a site to establish a trading post for the Dutch West India Company.

Hendricksz's voyage was made aboard the IJseren Vercken (Iron Hog), a vessel built in America.

In the course of his explorations Hendrickson he met a band of Susquehannock (Minquas) and ransomed the three for kettles, beads, and trade goods.
