<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 26606319, member: 73224&quot;]SCDs tell a lot of history. The Hudson river in New York was named after the captain of the Half Moon ship, Henry Hudson. In 1609 he ended up in New York in the Half Moon, either by crew mutiny or him looking for the mythical Northwest Passage to the Orient. Probably, both. He wasn&#039;t supposed to be anywhere near North America. The obverse date is 1609-1909. Celebrating 300 years since Henry Hudson sailed to New York and explored rivers looking for the Northwest Passage. The Netherlands gave the U.S. a replica of the Half Moon in 1909.&nbsp; It caught fire in 1934. Pretty interesting story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
