High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Tyger (tiger) was the ship used by Dutch captain Adriaen Block during his 1613 voyage to explore the East Coast of North America and the present day Hudson River. In late summer of 1613, the Tyger had moored in lower Manhattan on the Hudson to trade with the Lenape Indians. By November, the vessel had been filled with pelts of beaver, otter, and other skins obtained in barter for trifles. In November, an accidental fire broke out and the Tyger rapidly burned to the waterline. The charred hull was beached and all but a small section of prow and keel that was salvaged in 1916 (see below) remain in that location, buried beneath what is now the intersection of Greenwich and Dey Streets in Lower Manhattan. During the fire, the crew salvaged some sails, rope, tools and fittings and, over the winter, Block and his men, with help from the Indians, built the Onrust (Restless), which they used to explore the East River and Long Island Sound before returning to Europe in 1614.
