When were they exploring? The 1600s were a golden era for the Dutch, much as the 1500s had been for the Spanish. The Dutch merchant fleet became the greatest in the world, Amsterdam glittered as a trade center and a Dutch empire was established. This was the age of Rembrandt and Vermeer. Dutch society further distinguished itself by becoming a haven for the oppressed, opening its doors to French Huguenots and Jews from the Iberian Peninsula.
How did it affect the areas they discovered? The most important Dutch navigator to follow in Hudson's path was Captain Adriaen Block, who explored New York and southern New England in 161314. Block's ship, the Tiger, was accidentally destroyed in a fire in New York Harbor, whereupon he and his crew built huts and a new ship, the Restless, which Block later used to explore the coast of Long Island. He sailed past a small island off the coast of Rhode Island and charted the location dubbing it "Adriaen's Eylant". Today, the island is known as Block Island.
In 1614 the StatesGeneral, or Dutch Parliament, consented to a request by several merchants, primarily from Amsterdam, to form the New Netherland Company and to grant the company an exclusive threeyear right to trade in the territory that for the first time was called New Netherland. The new enterprise was such an overwhelming success that merchants excluded from the trade protested fiercely. In response to these complaints, the monopoly was not continued when it came up for renewal in 1618.
