Listen to the talk about the history of the Harderson River.
Today I would like to begin by discussing early European settlement along one of out well-known rivers, the Hudson, which empties into the Atlantic to form the New York bay.
The Hudson River has a couple of interesting physical features that made it very attractive for settlement by the Europeans.听错了 没听出来made it以至于attractive听成了attracted
The first is that the river extends inland from the Atlantic ocean for more than 150 miles with no water falls and(or) rapids.
Its surface is virturally flat for that entire distance with no obstacles.
Second, the whole 150 miles stretch is influenced by tides from the Atlantic ocean.
Roughly in(every) six hours the river reverses its(无) direction.
Flowing north when the tide is arising and south towards the ocean(没有听出来) when the tide is going down.
Obviously there were no obstacles to prevent the(无) settlers from moving further upstream of(on) the Huderson river, and this explains why the Dutch penetrated so far inland.
They were the first European to settle in the Hudson valley.
Of course, to go upstream the Dutch settlers needed to have(无) the right kind of boat, and so to navigate the river, they designed the slewp(sloop) with one mast and(but with) two sails.
One was(rigged) in front of the mast and one behind.
The mast was very tall, in many cases over 100 feet tall, so that the large sails could catch winds blowing above the shore line hills.
The Hudson river sloop carried the passengers and cargo.
The cargo ranging from coal, lumber and hay to fruit, vegetables and live stock.
Travelling only 10 miles an hour in a good wind, the sloop was not too speedy by modern standards, but was ideally suited to the Dutch settlement.

And in fact when steam boats eventually was introduced, it couldn’t keep up with the sloop.
