This year is the 400th anniversary of the first permanent Dutch settlement on the island of Manhattan. To mark the occasion, we'll stroll the streets of Lower Manhattan looking for obvious (and many not-so-obvious) reminders of time when the Dutch West India Company controlled this section of the Eastern Seaboard and charming, Dutch-gabled houses lined the streets.
From Adriaen Block's ship "Tiger," which burned on its moorings where the World Trade Center now stands to the oyster islands in the bay that once provided the city's only reliable food source, we'll look at how the Dutch thrived (and failed) over their four decades in the New World.
