Everything about Hendrick Christiaensen totally explained
Hendrick Christiaensen (d.
1616) was a Dutch explorer who was involved in the earlier exploration of what became present day New York City.
In 1611, Christiaensen paid two visits to
Manhattan, including one with fellow explorer
Adriaen Block. Upon his return to the Netherlands following the second of his trips, he brought back with him two young Indians, who were the sons of a local sachem. The Dutch were fascinated with the boys, and they eventually earned the names
Orson and
Valentine.
By 1613, Christiaensen was captain of the vessel
Fortuyn. He again returned to Manhattan, and with Adrien Block, he created the first map of the region that showed Manhattan and
Long Island as separate geographical entities.
In 1616, Hendrick Christiaensen was murdered by his adoptive son Orson near present-day
Albany, New York.
