Can you rebuild a 400-year-old dutch sailing vessel by hand, with only the help of volunteers?
You can if you never say never.
When a group of new York Capital district residents set out to reconstruct the Onrust (dutch
for “restless”), the first trading ship built in america, into a living (and floating) classroom,
they spent 3 years using authentic 17th-century dutch building techniques to rebuild the
ship to its authentic 1614 specifications. With the help of GMC, they had the capability
they needed to haul materials, the resources they required to construct the engine room
and the perseverance it took to bring an important part of american history back to life.

that true craftsmanship is timeless. that the details are where you find the difference. and
if you dream of building something to stand the test, there’s no substitute for professional
grade. it was as true in the 17th century as it is in the 21st: the right transport can make all the
difference when you’re trying to keep life on course. gmc AcAdiA.

Contributing skills, time and hard work, over 250 volunteers came together to help reconstruct america’s first
dutch trading ship, the Onrust. Utilizing recently rediscovered authentic dutch shipbuilding techniques, the
reconstruction isn’t merely a replica but an actual working 17th-century dutch ship, built the same way the original
was some 400 years ago.
