The current Unrest is a replica of a Dutch ship with that name and was built by Adriaen Block with the Tyger crew. (That ship was destroyed by fire.) The ship, a hunt, was the first covered ship built in its entirety in America. The construction lasted three months (January to April 1614) in Manhattan. Due to the short construction it is assumed that the Lenape Indians helped, but this has not been documented. The ship was 13 meters long and could transport 14.5 tons of freight.
In 1614, Block sailed through the East River twists to the Long Island Sound. Here he discovered Block Island. Block was also the first European to feed the Connecticut River. He came about 100 miles inland, to the Enfield Falls.
In addition to finding various domestic shipping routes, setting up trade networks and mapping of indigenous villages, the first two accurate maps of the eastern coast of the United States are drawn from Travel of the Unrest. It was the first research vessel in America.
Later that year, Block saw another Dutch ship and sailed back to the Netherlands on October 1, 1614. The Onrust was last mentioned in 1616 while the ship was going to discover the New River, nowadays known as the Delaware River.
From 2006 to 2009, the foundation New Netherland Routes, Inc. a replica of the unrest in Rotterdam, New York. Authentic seventeenth-century techniques were used, rediscovered by the shipbuilder of the foundation. As a material mainly white oak was used with a deck of firewood. The replica is held together by 4000 handmade pins of the false acacia. Metal parts are of genuine brass.
