Grafton Historical Society Meeting On 1614 Ship

The Grafton Historical Society will hold its July meeting at the Grafton Town Hall on July 21 at 7 pm.
The Society will host Don Rittner who will present a PowerPoint® presentation on the construction of The Onrust, the first European ship to be built in New York State in 1614 by Adrian Block and his crew stranded at the tip of Manhattan. Don and his volunteers spent the last three years building a replica of the ship using recently rediscovered 17th century Dutch ship building techniques.
