In 1493, Christopher Columbus recorded a bizarre sighting in his journal: his crew claimed to have seen three mermaids rise out of the sea! But instead of the beautiful creatures of legend, they described them as having "masculine traits" and looking far less attractive than expected. But Columbus wasn't alone in these strange sightings. Throughout history, explorers and sailors—like Henry Hudson—have reported encounters with mermaids, which later found their way into maps, medieval art, and even royal portraits. But were they really seeing mythical beings, or were they just mistaking manatees and dugongs for something more magical? Join me as I explore real historical accounts of mermaid sightings, their connections to Tudor and Renaissance symbolism, and how Queen Elizabeth I herself used mermaid imagery as propaganda. Mermaids may be mythical, but their influence on history, folklore, and even politics is very real. Want to know more? Watch now to uncover the truth behind mermaid myths! #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #MermaidMyths #HistoricalMysteries #RenaissanceHistory #QueenElizabethI #Columbus #HenryHudson #SeaLegends #RoyalPropaganda #ManateesOrMermaids
Podcast Summary Unlock the secrets of the resilient beach plum, Prunus maritima, and learn how these tenacious plants help fight coastal erosion while offering a rich tapestry of horticultural history. We'll transport you back to the days of early explorers like Giovanni da Verrazzano and Henry Hudson, who first documented these hardy shrubs along the northeastern United States coast. Join us as we uncover how beach plums have long intrigued cultivators due to their genetic diversity, presenting challenges and opportunities that have persisted since the 19th century. Meet the unsung heroes of beach plum cultivation from the 1930s, including Jay Milton Batchelor, Wilford Wheeler, and George Graves, who championed unique varieties with passion and humor. We'll explore the historical significance of the Cape Cod Beach Plum Growers Association and discover the quirky connections between its founders, the environmental elements they studied, and the playful coincidences they encountered. Through stories filled with both horticultural insight and wit, we celebrate the legacy of these dedicated individuals who refused to let the allure of the beach plum fade into obscurity. Journey with us into the renewed interest and research of the early 2000s, led by institutions like Cornell and UMass and other researchers. We highlight their efforts to identify and preserve the best beach plum varieties and their commitment to maintaining genetic diversity. As we wrap up, we'll share amusing anecdotes about the lengths enthusiasts might go to obtain cuttings and encourage listeners to join forums and online communities to ensure these unique cultivars thrive for future generations.

Tom Dieusaert vertelt over het gevecht van één man tegen de machtigste multinational van de zeventiende eeuw: de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC). Een gevecht ‘waarbij hij anderhalf miljoen gulden zou verliezen maar toch zijn eer zou bewaren.' Na de scheiding van de Nederlanden door de Tachtigjarige Oorlog was Isaac le Maire één van de honderden calvinistische, kapitaalkrachtige Antwerpse kooplui die einde zestiende eeuw in Amsterdam neerstreken. Daar werd hij een van de pioniers van de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie. Maar zijn individualistische en tegendraadse karakter bracht hem onvermijdelijk op ramkoers met het staatsmonopolie van de VOC. Hij was betrokken bij de ontdekking van wat New York zou worden door Henry Hudson. Hij werd een vertrouweling aan het hof van de Franse koning Hendrik IV. En uiteindelijk zou hij de doorgang ontdekken tussen de Atlantische en Stille Oceaan: de mythische Kaap Hoorn. Tom Dieusaert deed historische onderzoeksjournalistiek en volgde het spoor van deze fascinerende figuur van Antwerpen, Egmond, Den Helder en Amsterdam tot in Patagonië en Kaap Hoorn.

In this episode, Hannah fights LA's worst traffic using the Mercedes-Benz Level 3 Drive Pilot system that beat Tesla to advanced hands-free driving. Matt drives the Nissan Z Nismo Edition around Manhattan but he barely fits inside the cabin, and he really needs a manual gearshift. Then, Hannah and Matt discuss the merits of electric sedans like the BMW i7 and Porsche Taycan--can you cross-shop those against a Volvo XC90? Plus, Matt wants a Porsche 911 S/T or a Porsche 911 R, but Hannah says the S/T is a cash grab and the R is wildly expensive even if you can find a used one. And maybe the Porsche 911 Carrera T is better pound for pound, anyway? Follow Hannah and Matt on Instagram: @HannahElliottxo @mattmiller1973 Find more on Bloomberg.com, Bloomberg Radio and YouTube. FULL TRANSCRIPT: I'm Hannah Elliott and I'm Matt Miller. This is hot pursuit. All right. Coming up on the podcast, we're gonna talk about a self driving Mercedes, the new drive pilot technology. Hannah tested it out. Have they beaten Tesla to the punch. We're also going to talk about the BMW I seven. This is the fully electric version of their seven series, their flagship executive limousine. Hannah's driving it this week. I have driven it before and it gave me ideas for the next car that I need. Plus, we'll talk about Porscha. They came out with earnings that were obviously good because they're Porsche. I'm also driving a much cheaper I guess caman competitor in a way that we'll talk about, and they could electrify them a con. I want an ST. I tried to get a nine to eleven R. There's so much to talk about in terms of Porsche. But hey, let's start with the Mercedes Drive Pilot, which is their level three autonomous driving system. Tell us about it. Yeah, I have to say this is the big deal because Tesla has been talking about their full self driving for years and they do sell something that they're calling full self driving FSD, but it actually requires a bit of hands on the wheel and attention on the road. So Mercedes swoops in with something they're calling drive Pilot, which is level three driving, which does not require your hands on the wheel ever, and doesn't require your eyes on the road. So literally you can sit back and read a book, or watch a video, or have video conference calls, or watch a movie play on your phone. So it is kind of a big deal. There are limitations that we can talk about, but as somebody who's not especially excited about the idea of self driving in general, I have to say it did kind of win me over. I was pretty impressed. Yeah, so let's talk first about the benefits of self driving technology before we get into the limitations on the Mercedes system, and also the cost, which I think is interesting. You live in one of the most congested places on the planet, so for you it can actually like make your life better. Yeah, that's really true. And I actually when I tested it, it was on the Tin which basically goes, you know, from downtown out to the ocean, and I used to drive that way every day to work. It is some of the most horrible traffic in town. And the benefit was that I was in my car, but it felt like I had a driver, and that was a huge thing for me. I mean, the idea of having a driver is such a great luxury, and this technology, this drive pilot, really did make it feel like that. It drives the car for you. It only drives the car for you on highways that have two lanes or more and that have a solid barrier down the center. So this is already getting into some of the imitations. But the benefit is I got a lot of things done on my way to work, like answering emails, I was looking at videos, I was playing on Instagram. That's a huge benefit. And in a more general sense, I was a lot less peeved and annoyed by the time I got to the office, having not have had to fight with you know, people that I think are terrible drivers. I think we can agree that Prius drivers are the worst. I did not have to fight these people on my way into the office, and that was a huge benefit because the car took care of it. Yeah. So I mean for me, for my commute, I drive into Manhattan from Scarsdale every day. It's an hour in the morning, really and an hour on the way back. And I like to pretend that I can drive a lot myself, but the truth is I'm mostly in bumper to bumper traffic, and it would be awesome if I could do work, you know, while while I was driving. The problem is I'm sometimes slowed to a halt, like when I'm heading on, for example, to Henry Hudson. But also there are times when I'm doing sixty you know. It's like back and forth, back and forth. And one of the main limitations of this system I know from reading your story on the Bloomberg Terminal, is that it doesn't work above forty miles an hour. So I just can't imagine how it would work for me, because it would be awesome for a few minutes and then all of a sudden, what it just stops working. Yeah, actually, yes, that's exactly right. It is awesome. And then if you need to speed up and you push the gas or you even want to change lanes, it just cancels out the system. So this is actually an interesting note because level two driving will change lanes for you. It's kind of like a glorified cruise control or if you've heard of jam super cruise. It's basically that Level three will fully drive the car for you and you don't have to touch the steering wheel at all, but it won't change lanes. And it also is only legal right now in California and Nevada and Germany, so there are limitations. Yeah, and that I mean to me, it's kind of like a deal breaker because, yeah, I need it to be able to go more than forty that's really slow if you think about it. Yeah, but I guess it'll come. As you wrote that, they're pushing to get to eighty miles an hour as the next milestone, which is going to be I think when it really works, well maybe in LA people will drive faster than that on the ten. But I think one of the coolest parts of the story is that they have like special designated tail lights that are not police blue, but they're kind of like lavender, And there's a picture in the story and I thought that looks so cool. So eventually you're going to be able to know when other people have automated driving on Yeah, those lights are very cool, and they're actually primarily so that law enforcement know that this car is being driven automatically and not by a human. It's the lights actually have not yet been approved for new models, but they're trying to get Mercedes is trying to get that color approved. You know, they have to run everything through the standards and regulations to make them legal. But on these tester cars that we had, they did have these like very it's like almost a teal, just like you say, And that is largely so law enforcement know that the car is being driven autonomously and not so. You know, if a cop sees you and you're like watching a video on your phone, he doesn't pull you over. Basically all right to me. The only other problem with this is, you know, I like to do extreme tailgating, so I'm right on your bumper if you're in front of me in the left lane, because I don't think you should be in the left lane. It's only for passing, and I'm the one who's trying to pass. Also, I don't like it when someone ducks in front of me, you know, trying pass on the right and cut in front of me. So rude. And it doesn't follow that closely, does it. No, it doesn't. And if you try to follow that closely, it'll just cancel the system. So yeah, I don't I agree with you. I don't like that these new programs don't allow aggressive driving, because sometimes we do need to drive aggressively. I like your term extreme tailgating. That sounds like a hobby kind of and maybe that should go on our list of hobbies. I've taken that from college football. Yeah, fandom. That's that's very good. And you know, I think these are all steps forward. Level five is the top level of autonomous driving, and that is basically a robotax, you know, something that totally drives itself for you. So we're at level three. It's a new threshold that's been passed. They're trying to get it up to speed, no pun intended, and you know we're moving in that direction. Well it is sometimes you really do feel like you need a driver. So let's move on to the next topic, and that is what are you driving this week? You have the BMW I seven, which is the EV version of the you know, legendary seven series. I had a chance at it, and I have serious thoughts. But tell me what you're thinking about driving it right now? Well, you know what, I surprisingly kind of liked it and currently like it, and it's really funny because last week I had the BMW XM was not so much of a fan. That review is coming out next week where I'll really go on my rant about the XM. So I kind of got into the I seventh, you know, with a little bit of a cringe in my neck. But I started sort of listing out all the things that I was thinking about the I seven, and I looked at the list and I realized, wait a second, these are all positives pretty much. You know, it's very comfortable, it's large, and I think if you want a large car, this is this is great. It certainly feels more luxurious than competitors like the Porscha Ta Can or any of the Tesla models. I think it actually is priced pretty fairly. Starting prices around one hundred and seven thousand. There are tons of ops, a bunch of executive packages you can get that will make it a lot more expensive, but I actually think the starting price is pretty fair. Does this ring any bells for what you thought about it, Matt? Yeah? For me, mostly positives. I absolutely loved it, and I feel like my test drive in the I seven was almost life changing. Wow. Oh, I love the brand. I'm a huge fan of BMW and I always have been. I now have a greater appreciation for big executive limousines, and I didn't really give them much thought previously. No, I was in Stuttgart with all the Colonias when they put out the new S class, and it was cool to be in Stuttgart and to be with Ola, But I didn't really care about the S class, like I'm not buying one of those things. But this, to me kind of showed what's possible there. First are some negatives, though, I think it's the ugliest of all the executives. Sedan's, I mean, the split headlights up front reminds me of a Fiat Multipla, and I don't I don't know how the designer, the designers at BMW have been getting away with what they've been getting away with since Chris Bangle. I just don't get who approves all that junk. The other thing is not not specific to BMW, but with all electric cars. It makes me nervous watching the range tick down and realizing that at some point I'm going to have to fight some other adults for a position at a charger, or find that all the chargers that I just got to are broken. Or realized that charging it at my house is going to take like thirteen hours, like you know, just it's not a good experience for me yet. Electric electric car the range thing for sure is real. I have to I actually think it looks kind of cool. I don't know what color you had when you drove it, but I've got this sort of matt blacked out everything black. It's brown, real what it's a very dark brown. Yeah, I had the same color. I love it. Yeah, see, I think that's so cool. Well, I actually think, you know, Adrian von hoydnk is the is the current design director, and he I do like I do like his esthetic. I mean, I remember Chris Bangle was a bit controversial back in the day. People he was polarizing back in the day. And sometimes I think these things tend to age better than when they're first presented on the market. So the looks didn't bother me. My question is what did you think about the sound? This sort of fabricated electric were you know? And so in other electric cars the sound has made a big impression on me. In the EQUS by Mercedes, I really liked the fake sound that they pump into the cabin they've got to make it have some kind of sound so that you know you're driving, and so that other people know you're driving. I didn't notice it in the BMW, just because I was so positively impressed by the driving manners of this giant, hulking vehicle. It was so much fun to drive. Part of that is down to the electric drive train, which is I think flawless. But another part of it is that BMW focuses so much on the structure, on the rigidity, on you know, they what's their tag one, the ultimate driving machine. It really is true, whether you're talking about the the two series, which I love, or the seven series, which I love. I also really like the way what do you call the UX you know, the way you interact with the car's infotainment system. I've loved it since day one of the eye drive and I still love it. And obviously the materials, the build quality, like it's all a one in my opinion, Yeah, yeah, I agree, I'd buy it. I wish this daring was a little bit tighter. I think it feels slightly numb, but then I go back to, well, this is a huge executive sitan and honestly, if that means that the backseat is just really smooth and totally cocoon from the world. Then that's fine. I'm not going to like quibble with that. Really, So my house, so the reason that changed my life is that we have, you know, a baby now and a baby on the way, and so my life is all about rear facing car seats. And we have a Volvo XC ninety as the kind of family truckster at my house. But the Mercedes, sorry, the BMW seven series, I think is a Volvo XC ninety killer. And no one else is cross shopping these cars, but I think they should be because the stretch rear of an executive sedan. And it's true about I'm sure the S class or the S eight two is perfect for rear facing car seats. There's never enough room in even the biggest SUVs, the biggest European SUVs, for rear facing car seats without moving the passenger seat forward or moving the driver's seat forward, and so I think this is ideal. Plus, you know, it's the top of technology and luxury and everything that a car maker can do. The BMW seven Series, same with the Mercedes S Class, but they are so expensive to start I think the the BMW M seven sixty, which is the one I love, just they just stopped making it. With the V twelve. It was one sixty five to start, and I've seen them two or three years old with twenty or thirty thousand miles. They're clearly coming off lease for sixty five. Wow, it's just massive depreciation. So now it puts it in the range of an XC ninety plus. I get it's a BMW. It's so much more fun to drive, and in the case of the M seven sixty, it's a V twelve and it's the last one they're ever gonna make. So my next car is gonna be I'm gonna say it a BMW M seven sixty as soon as I convince my wife that she doesn't need evolthough the BMW is just as safe and even better if you have two kids. I like, I really like that. I think you've convinced me. I can totally see that, And I can also see the partners sort of saying, well, it's not enough, and you know it doesn't have the catch back loader. But I can actually see it. I can kind of buy what you're saying. Let's go to topic number three, which is like Porsche in general. Because I have a million questions for you about Porsche, I will first say that I'm this week, I'm driving the little Nissan Z and I'm actually driving the supposedly pre production version of the Nismo edition for next year. It's an awesome car. I've driven the ZB four. I love the total late seventies early eighties styling, but I think it needs a stick in order to be fun. There's no way I'm squeezing myself into something that tiny unless I'm using a manual transmission. Also, I'm just too big that they clearly made it for the Japanese market. Americans just don't fit in them. How tall are you, Matt, I'm six four. And the reason I bring up the Nissan with the Porsche's that I think it's a pretty clear competitor to a Cayman or a Boxer right in that it's just a very small, dedicated sports car. It's obviously much cheaper and doesn't have the status of a Porsche. But if you're in the market for one of these tiny little things, I don't think it matters that it's front engine instead of mid engine. I would put it up against a Cayman any day. Yeah, that's cool. Did they say what the Nismo Edition gets? You? Like? Is what extra? Does that mean? They probably do get just paint. I wasn't paying attention. No, I think it's more than more than paint. But I quickly passed it along to Barry Ritholtz, and because his wife, I think, really wants to buy one, so I thought might as well give him a chance in it. But it's a competitor to the Cayman, although probably not a lot of people will be cross shopping the two, they're not in the same exact price range. In terms of Porscha. I just have a million questions for you. So what do you think about the Taikon? I mean, what do you think about Porsche's uh drive into electric? Well, I think the Porscha Tekon was the first electric sedan that was really better than Tesla and was the first one that really showed what a proper professional car company with heritage and real German engineering can do when they decide to go electric. Because before that we had obviously some other electric vehicles out there, but if you wanted a quote unquote luxury electric sedan, Tesla was the only option. And so when Porsche finally brought up the Taykon and I remember that debut it was like twenty eighteen, I believe at Niagara Falls. It was a big deal. It was like finally, finally, like the actual big guys who've been doing this for seventy five years are going to bring a competitor, so we're not stuck having to satisfy our craving for evs with Tesla, which is not a luxury experience. Yeah, no, it's very spartan. I don't know if Portia has cracked the the range nut, because it seems like that's one of the things that Elon Musk has really been able to do. But yeah, I went to the I went to the launch on the Polish border is where they had it in Germany. I rode my multi Strata out there and I was impressed. But Walter Rural, who was the you know, the famous Elly driver, he was testing it, apparently for Portia, and he made a comment some something along the lines of it's the greatest car I've ever driven in terms of power, delivery and handling, but I would never buy one, which I thought it totally sums up the way I feel about it as well. That's fine, and honestly, I'd expect nothing less from this old guard of driver, of racing champion, especially someone who made their entire career on you know, a certain engine. I I would expect nothing less from him. It's definitely a different proposition, but I know that the market wants it, you know. I noticed in Q three earnings sales of the Taie Hun are up more than fifty percent year over year, and so I think as long as as many as Porschia can make, they will probably be able to sell. Now I want to ask about some of the special editions because when they came out with the nine to eleven are I was like, I felt like I was at the front of the line, or at least one of the first people to know about it. And when I tried to buy all, they said, no, it's already been sold out. Now they have another real purest nine to eleven in the st, which is exactly what I want. You know, I don't want any of the crazy technological enhancements. I just want a big, naturally aspirated flat six in the back and you know, a nine to eleven that can steer. Why do they charge so much and make so few of these perfect vehicles and then only offer us the vehicles that we know aren't nearly as good. The short answer is because they can. And I have to say, I love your impulse to go for the nine to eleven R, because, as opposed to the ST, which I'll get to in a second, the R has a specific vehicle from nineteen sixty seven that it's taken off of. If you remember, the sixty seven nine to eleven R was a actual race car. They made fewer than twenty five of them. It was an actual real car, never available to the public, but it actually was an actual racing car. Now, the STS from the seventies were not actually a real car. You could sort of buy a nine to eleven and spec it to ST specs. It's a combination of the nine to eleven S and the nine to eleven T, but there was no actual portion nine to eleven ST sold. You had to kind of spec it yourself from the factory. So the fact that Porsche is now offering almost three hundred thousand dollars nine to eleven ST with a very unfortunate optional heritage livery on it just seems a bit like a cash grab. The new nine to eleven R I could kind of see. They made nine hundred and ninety one of them because it was built on a nine to nine to one chassis, so that's, you know, sort of creative. But those I just checked on bring a trailer this morning. One sold in June for almost four hundred thousand dollars and that's used. So the nine to eleven RS, I can actually see the reason. But the st to me, feels like a straight up cash grap and they've got the same engine in that that they have in the GT three RS, so it's like, spend less money, get an actual proper GT three. That's my rant. I think I would go for the tea at this point because I'm getting old enough. Yes, the Caarer tee is a nine to eleven is a thinking man's nine eleven because you get everything you need nothing you don't. Also, it's way more livable. Let's not forget to use stands for touring. It's way more livable. It's honestly like the smart adult choice. It's a better compliment that I've been given in years. But I appreciate the compliment. We have the same choice in nine to eleven New nine to elevens. That does it for the podcast this week. I want listeners to know you can tune into my radio show every weekday from ten am to one pm.

“The ordinary traveler, who never goes off the beaten route and who on this beaten route is carried by others, without himself doing anything or risking anything, does not need to show much more initiative and intelligence than an express package." Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're discussing The River of Doubt by Candace Millard, a story that follows the expedition of Theodore Roosevelt as he explores the Amazon river in Brazil. Though faced with many hardships along the way, Roosevelt finds purpose in this monumental journey after losing the 1912 election. We cover a wide range of topics including: The explorer spirit and the drive to explore the unknown Theories of how long humans have been in the Americas How the crew was able to form relationships with uncontacted tribes The progression of travel methods in comparison to the early 1900s What were in the cards for Roosevelt and Rondon after they returned And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

After losing the 1912 election, Roosevelt traveled to Brazil to explore the Amazon river, which was largely unknown at that time. (4:17) The explorer spirit and the urge to explore something that people haven't seen before. While there's not much else for us to discover for the first time on earth, there are still many unique things to go see that only few have. (8:52) Roosevelt and the crew seemed to underestimate what they were getting into, and though underprepared, it ended up being an overall success. (14:21) We talk a bit more about Rondon and his backstory, as well as what life looked like for him after the expedition. He had contact with tribes that were otherwise cut off from the rest of the world. (18:26) The relationships with the tribes they came across and how the tribe leaders had to mutually agree before a course of action was taken on Roosevelt's crew. At the time, it was not known that the tribe they had contacted were cannabalists. (22:37) There's a theory that the Amazon is man-made or at least man-influenced. While there's evidence of humans in the Amazon from at least 13,000 years ago, how long have humans really been in the Americas? (27:50) Seafaring canoes and the possibility of natives reaching new land via canoe tens of thousands of years ago. It's also a mystery how many journeys have failed throughout time, as there is likely no record of their expedition at all. (31:29) The drive to explore is in our DNA. Do we feel that need for evolutionary purposes? (37:40) We talk about the description of the surgery on Roosevelt's leg during the journey and the backstory behind it. (42:07) Sickness and the prevalence of malaria during the trip. We give some stats on the fatalities of malaria, and the lethality is less than we expected. (44:19) Roosevelt brought his son, Kermit. Though Kermit didn't want to go, he went so he can watch out for his dad. Back in this time, going on a trip for months or even years meant you wouldn't have any contact with people back home for that whole span. (48:55) Stories of Roosevelt when he was visited by ambassadors in the White House, and other humorous presidential stories. (52:32) There have been several amazing stories and documentaries describing the journies of different adventurists and mountain climbers. It goes to show just how important pacing yourself is and knowing how to pack the appropriate supplies. (1:00:51) Why the crew hardly saw any wild life during their time in the Amazon. Though you're surrounded by them, they're extremely hidden. (1:05:58) Rondon's leadership along the way and how he managed to keep order, despite one of the crew members causing trouble. (1:14:19) When we think about Roosevelt's journey and compare it to today, we see how far we've come. We can now reach the other side of the world at much quicker speeds and have the potential of seeing more growth in this area during our lifetime, too. (1:19:53) Stay tuned for our next episode...

In 1609, an English adventurer hired by the Dutch government led an expedition to find a path to Asia through North America. His expedition led to the European discovery of the Hudson River and the establishment of New Amsterdam, a colonial settlement that later became New York City. In 1610, he sailed again, but this time flying the British flag.

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" (ancient Portuguese proverb) London Dispatch 1828 Ten years before Henry Hudson ever sailed up the river that now bears his name, the six chief Dutch captains occupying the Strait of Magellan at the southern tip of South America formed "The Brotherhood of the Unleashed Lion" - a fraternity in which these defiantly stoic men vowed that no danger, threat nor adversity would ever dissuade them from acting in the interests of their beloved, nascent Dutch Republic. The objective of this Brotherhood? To inflict concerted and exacting harm upon their Iberian enemy with extreme prejudice; to covet the assets of Spain and Portugal and thereby harness that wealth to their own purpose. In other words, steal from the richest empire on Earth, and give to the youngest...and poorest. And as the Directors of the newfound Dutch West India Company focus their efforts on this concept, they institute the Company's first major initiative, in 1623, that they called "The Grand Design", the purpose of which was to unleash this very lion, once and for all, in every way possible. And as Governor Pierre Minuit, unrelenting refugee of the Eighty Years War, readies himself to pilot this rag-tag, ad-hoc, so-called "colony" to a place where no man has gone before, he finds himself at a perplexing intersection of profit and ideals.

In 1609, the Dutch East India Company hired who they thought was the right navigator to go find the fabled waterway shortcut to Asia. But while they not only mis-calculated the ulterior designs of the slippery Englishman named Henry Hudson, they were also very interested to learn about the magnificent trove of beaver skins that his Dutch crewmen just happened to have received in trade -- directly from the natives of this place. The place which Hudson's ancient man of the sea Robert Juet recorded as "Manna-hata" before any other European had ever recorded it as such. And from that point forward, life upon this raw, fertile island, and in effect, upon the entire vast Earth, would never be the same again. Episode 1: Manna-hata 1609.

In the tattered wake of Henry Hudson, Adriaen Block navigates the onrust that develops amongst both the Algonquins and the Dutch alike. And in the process, he becomes ward to two Algonquin teens whose Sachem father has requested that the Captain take boys to Amsterdam to further educate them in this growing fur trade. But the unintended consequences of this undertaking would darken the efforts of the noble Adriaen Block and his eager, fallen Catholic apprentice Jacob Eelkens in immeasurable ways.

When the body of a malnourished girl was found in a cooler off the Henry Hudson parkway in 1991 the homicide detectives of the 34th precinct work hard to identify her body and find her killer. It would take 22 years, but Baby Hope would eventually get her name back.

New to St. Rose High School but well known and respected in the world of Jersey Shore Athletics, Louis “Del” Dal Pra has joined our team as our Supervisor of Athletics.Del Dal Pra has spent most of his life on the Jersey Shore. He grew up in Rumson and was an All-Shore football and baseball player at RFH in 1984 and was inducted into the Bulldog Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005. He then continued playing Baseball and Football at Glassboro State College and graduated in 1991 with a teaching degree in Health and Physical Education. After graduation he returned to RFH were he taught H/PE and was an assistant football coach from 1992-1999. He also coached baseball at RFH from 1991 to 1994. As a baseball coach, Dal Pra first standout season came in 1996 when he guided Henry Hudson to the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group 1 sectional championship game and was named Asbury Park Press Baseball coach of the year. In 1998 he was the head coach at OCC and in 2000 was named the head baseball coach at Ocean. Dal Pra led the Spartans to four Shore Conference division titles, two Monmouth County Tournament titles, one Shore Conference Tournament championship and two NJSIAA Central Jersey Group 3 sectional titles. Dal Pra was also an assistant football coach when Ocean won the Central Jersey Group 3 crown in 2000 and 2005 and was named baseball coach of the year in 2006 by the Asbury Park Press. While teaching and coaching at Ocean Coach Del earned his Masters degree from Kean University with a degree in School Administration. In 2008, Dal Pra was then hired as Red Bank's athletic director and tasked with resuscitating a struggling athletic department. That fall season, the football team was 0-10 and the boys and girls soccer, girls tennis and field hockey teams combined for just nine wins. "Those times were horrible for me," he said. "We had teams playing on fields and courts that had no upgrades in almost 40 years. Outdated uniforms and equipment had to be replaced with one of the smallest budgets in the Shore Conference. I knew I had to think outside the box because it was not safe for our student-athletes and they deserved better."With the help of some very dedicated parents, Dal Pra founded the Buc Backer Booster Club in 2009. He fostered the buy-in from the entire coaching staff and they helped him build a winning culture in Little Silver that was missing for a long time. From 2010-2020 he was also able to start and finish such projects as lights for the stadium field, new home and away stands, a new wood gym floor, new gym lights, new gym bleachers and new scoreboards in the fieldhouse. His most proud moment was the opening of a new state of the art weight room. Coach Del was named Athletic Director of the year in 2016 and 2020 and retired from RBR in July 2020. Before retiring all of the RBR teams were running successful programs and playing on top notch facilities.In 2021 the NJSIAA enshrined Coach Del in the New Jersey State Coaches Hall of Fame in Robbinsville. Last school year 2021-2022 Dal Pra worked at Matawan High School in the Security Department. Currently he works for the Philadelphia Phillies as an assistant groundskeeper for the Jersey Shore BlueClaws. “I love working for the BlueClaws and enjoy every minute I am at the ballpark,” Dal Pra said. “However, I am even more excited to get back to working as a high school Athletic Director, especially at St. Rose. I've had a lot of great offers this past summer but when the opportunity to work at a school that appreciates its coaches and athletes like St. Rose does came along- I jumped at the chance.""St. Rose's win of the Shop-Rite Cup in 2021-2022 for Private Group 1 schools demonstrates its commitment to athletics with programs and coaches on the top of their game. I am excited to work with the coaches and athletes to take the program to the next level."Help us
This episode is about the trading between the Dutch of New Netherland, the English first of Plymouth and then of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the Algonquian and Iroquoian tribes in the region during the 1620s and 1630s. These relationships were important, both to the profitability of settlement for the Dutch and the English, and because they so destabilized the balance of power among the tribes and the Europeans that they would eventually lead to the very ugly Pequot War of 1636-38. The indigenous ceremonial currency, wampum, sat at the center of this trade, and we take a first look at its monetization by the Dutch and then the English.

Green Mansions by William Henry Hudson audiobook. "Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest" is a narration of his life story by Abel, a Venezuelan, to a comrade. Once a wealthy young man, he meddled in politics to the extent of provoking a revolution... which failed. Escaping into the tropical forests of Guyana Abel takes up gold hunting, then journal-writing, and fails at both. Now with no aim for his life, he drifts until he takes up residence with a remote Indian tribe. Soon he learns of a wood the Indians avoid, as it is inhabited by a dangerous Daughter of the Didi, who, they say, slew one of them with magic. The fellow was in fact hit with a poisoned dart by accident, but his dying belief that she had caught the dart and hurled it at him survived him. Intrigued, Abel visits the wood repeatedly, and eventually encounters Rima. She indeed is something magical. She seems to have a pact with nature: animals don't molest her, she speaks in a melodious birdsong (as well as Spanish), and she even makes her garments of spider silk. When Abel is bitten by a venomous snake that acts protective of her, she and her "grandfather" Nuflo nurse Abel back to health. Both Abel and Rima are wonderments to each other, someone unlike any other person they have ever encountered. They fall in love, a love that is stymied by Rima's inability to understand the feelings Abel creates in her. On a long trek to discover Rima's origins, they find that her unique people no longer exist, but they finally confront the magnetism that is drawing them together. Finally they find joy, and make plans... until Rima is murdered by the Indians. And then it is time for vengeance!

What 19th century American engineering landmark invites you through nature, past historic sites and into people's backyards? Where can you experience the grandeur of the Hudson Valley in (mostly) secluded peace and tranquility -- while learning something about Old New York?Welcome to the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, 26.5 miles of dusty pathway through some of the most interesting and beautiful towns and villages in Westchester County.But this is more than a linear park. The trail runs atop -- and sometimes alongside -- the original Croton Aqueduct, a sloping water system which opened in 1842, inspired by ancient Roman technology which delivered fresh water to the growing metropolis over three dozen miles south.At its northern end sits the New Croton Dam -- the tallest dam in the world when it was completed in 1906 -- with its breathtaking, cascading spillway (a little Niagara Falls) and its classic steel arch bridge, providing visitors with a view into a still-active source of drinking water.In the first part of this Road Trip to the Hudson Valley mini-series adventure, Greg and Tom not only trace the history of this colossal engineering project, they literally follow the aqueduct through the village of Westchester County (with some help from Tom Tarnowsky from Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct).WITH Nineteenth century ruins! Ancient bridges and weirs! Steep hikes and historic houses!PLUS: How did this elaborate mechanism help revolutionize modern plumbing? And find out how portions of this 180 year old system are still used today to distribute fresh water.For many historic images and photographs from out adventure, visit our website.boweryboyshistory.comAnd for further listening about the Hudson River and Westchester County, check out these earlier Bowery Boys podcasts:-- Water For New York: The Croton Aqueduct (our original show on this subject)-- Henry Hudson and the European Discovery of Mannahatta-- Literary Horrors of New York City (for the story of Washington Irving and Sleepy Hollow)-- The George Washington Bridge
Here come the Dutch! In the busy summer of 1609, English captain Henry Hudson, sailing the Half Moon for the Dutch East India Company, explores the Hudson River from New York Bay to the north of Albany, having numerous encounters, fraught and otherwise, with the local indigenous people along the way. Before he's done Hudson learns the name of that long skinny island that has forever been the economic capital of the United States. The episode concludes with Hudson's gruesome demise, for which he mostly had himself to blame.

From Cavalry Audio, iHeartRadio and executive producer Alec Baldwin, Island chronicles the first three hundred years of colonization of Manhattan Island and its resounding impact on our culture and our world. Hosted by actor, writer, and New Yorker Chance Kelly, the series illustrates how this place is an island unto itself, not just geographically, but idealistically, philosophically and spiritually. Island uncovers our true lost American History. It examines the city's effect on religious and personal freedoms throughout the world. Chance's own heritage is central to much of this story directly as his great, great, great uncle Honest John Kelly, himself emerged from the slums of Five Points to become one of the first Irish-Catholic Congressmen in 1856, and would later reform the reeling Tammany Hall in the wake of the Boss Tweed era. John Kelly was a fiercely courageous advocate for oppressed immigrants from everywhere. Island is the character-driven portrait of the inimitable souls responsible for a place founded on capitalism but perpetuated on an infectious and unapologetic measure of tolerance. Our narrative begins in 1609 when Henry Hudson happens upon Manhattan and the river that would come to bear his name, and culminates in 1909 when Western interloper William Randolph Hearst has infiltrated New York publishing and the fistfight that is Manhattan politics. Climb aboard this voyage of discovery as we tell the epic story, over three centuries, of the forging of the epicenter of the universe.

The Stockbridge-Munsee Community, the People of the Waters that Are Never Still, were forced to move many times after they first encountered Europeans. In 1609, Dutch trader Henry Hudson sailed up the Mahicannituck, the River that Flows Both Ways, into Mohican land. By 1614 there was a Dutch trading post established on a nearby island to take advantage of the beaver and otter availability. The arrival of the Europeans changed the economic pattern of the Mohicans, and brought both disease and religion into their land. The Mohican people, part of the Eastern Algonquian family of tribes, originally occupied large areas of land in what is now New England and the Hudson River Valley, including parts of what is now Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and were neighbors to the Lenape, to whom they are related. Over time, the Mohican people and the Munsees, who were also Lenape, and whose language and lifestyles were similar, affiliated with each other. After the arrival of the Europeans, the Mohicans were driven out of their land, into what would become Massachusetts and Connecticut, where they were introduced to Christianity and became known as the Stockbridge Moohicans. Then they were driven into New York, then to Indiana, then to Wisconsin and then further into Wisconsin. By the late 19th century, the Stockbridge-Munsee, like nearly every Native nation within the United States, was assigned to a reservation. Theirs was largely pine forest that was difficult to farm. Reservation land was portioned and allotted to individuals and families. Much of the land was sold to lumber companies or lost when the taxes couldn't be paid. By the 1920s the Stockbridge Munsee were virtually landless and living in poverty. When Congress passed the Indian Reorganization Act in 1934, Native communities were able to obtain funds from the federal government to reorganize their tribal governments and recover some of their land. By the end of 1937, the Stockbridge-Munsee had a new Constitution. The Stockbridge-Munsee Community is still located on the reservation in Wisconsin, which currently includes a little over 17,000 acres of trust land and around 7,500 acres of non-trust land. Around half of the tribe's population of 1500 people live on or near the reservation. In 1999, they established a Tribal Historic Preservation office to formalize the work of protecting burial sites and other cultural areas in its Eastern homelands. I'm joined in this episode by Heather Bruegl, who is enrolled Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and first line descendant Stockbridge Munsee and who is the Director of Education at the Forge Project.
