Description: Detailed introduction to the Dutch ship Henry Hudson commanded in 1609.
The Ship Half Moon - A Replica of the Dutch Ship of Exploration Commanded by Henry Hudson in 1609 A Replica of the Dutch Ship of Exploration Commanded by Henry Hudson in 1609 is a full scale reproduction of the Dutch shi of exploration sailed to North America in 1609 by Henry Hudson. The ship is authentic in appearance, but constructed of modern materials and techniques. The hull is strip planked with WEST SYSTEM(R) epoxy, much of the topside planking is epoxy encapsulated wood, frames and beams are laminated wood, and the rigging is synthetic material. Experience operating the ship substantiates the soundness of the design. Experience with the modern techniques indicates some work well, and others not so well. Particularly suited for modern epoxy based methods are frames, beams and other structural elements. This paper also discusses areas where the use of epoxies may not be so well suited, either due to inherent difficulties or poor craftsmanship. The paper addresses stability and handling of the vessel, predicts ultimate windward ability comparable to the original (between 55 and 70 degrees off the wind), and future operations for the ship.
