Historical ships arrive for NY400's River Day
There are big NY400 events planned this weekend as a flotilla of heritage ships will retrace Henry Hudson’s 1609 voyage up the river that now bears his name.
 Events got started this evening — under very grey skies — with the Half Moon’s passing of the Statue of Liberty, a mustering of boats in front of Ellis Island and a blessing of the fleet.
Brighter skies Saturday will see the 9 a.m. start of flotilla at Statue of Liberty, and later parade past Harlem, the Cloisters, Yonkers and the Hudson River Museum.
Ships scheduled to take part include the Onrust, Clearwater, and the Mystic Whaler.
They should arrive in Tarrytown and Nyack before the day is done.
