Onrust

Help from the local Native population is surmised based on the relationship developed by Jon Rodriquez, left on the island during a previous voyage.

Later in the year, Block rendezvoused with the Fortuyn, also under his command, near Cape Cod and sailed back to the Netherlands on 1 October 1614.

The replica is held together by more than 4,000[5] hand-made black locust tree nails called trunnels and iron rivets.

Much of the metal fittings and rivets were hand-made by local blacksmiths of wrought iron; others, as well as cannon, use authentic bronze.

The replica Onrust was first launched into the Mohawk River on May 20, 2009, and was able to participate in NY400 that year, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage.
