More about:

Reloaded 1 September 2010 -This summer Reloaded is re-broadcasting the Half Moon series, produced by David Swatling for Curious Orange last fall to mark the anniversary of the Dutch arrival in what is now known as New York.

Four hundred years ago, Captain Henry Hudson sailed the Halve Maan (Half Moon) to this little island, then inhabited by Native Americans. In the decades that followed, the Netherlands set up the colony of New Amsterdam. David Swatling tells the story, in this final part 3.
