Set in 1609, the story follows a group of sailors aboard the Halve Maen, captained by the British Henry Hudson, as they approach new shores. Originating from Amsterdam, the world's commercial hub, the small crew of 16 men embarks on a remarkable journey. Fifteen years later, their exploration leads to the establishment of New Amsterdam at the mouth of the Hudson River, laying the groundwork for future developments in the region. The narrative captures themes of exploration, commerce, and the beginnings of a significant settlement.
