A Dutch vessel, the Tyger was used in a 1613 voyage to explore the East Coast of North America, and specifically the [[wp:Hudson River|Hudson River]]. The ship moored at [[wp:Manhattan|Manhattan]] during the late summer, where crew traded with local [[wp:Lenape|Lenape]]. In November, while still moored, the ship caught fire and was destroyed. The crew built the [[wp:Onrust|Onrust]] as a replacement to continue their exploration; the first decked ship built entirely in North America. | A Dutch vessel, the Tyger was used in a 1613 voyage to explore the East Coast of North America, and specifically the [[wp:Hudson River|Hudson River]].
