The Half Moon, a replica of Henry Hudson’s ship, will be open for dockside tours at the Hudson River Maritime Museum through June 16th.

Replica of Henry Hudson’s ship open for tours until June 16

The ship, a replica of the one Henry Hudson sailed up the river now bearing his name in 1609, sailed down the river from its winter home in Athens and docked in Kingston at the Hudson River Maritime Museum Wednesday afternoon.

It’ll be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, including Memorial Day, for a $10 admission charge that also gets you into the museum. (See www.hrmm.org for more details.)

“It’s like going into a time machine,” said Capt. Chip Reynolds, who commands the ship’s volunteer crew of 24.
