Three days before the mast

The Half Moon, a full-scale replica of the East India Trading Company yacht Henry Hudson sailed in 400 years ago, is taking on crew from April 9 to 11, as the ship moves from its winter quarters in Verplanck to Peckham Wharf in Athens.

New York History has a call for volunteers:
