Hello Yisrela,

Teunis G. Bergen's book, "A List of Early Immigrants to
New Netherland, has a list of ships that sailed the
immigrants to NN, page 31. The ships had their names,
including as follows: Spotted Cow, Gilded Otter, Golden
Eagle, Gilded Beaver, and Moesman.

moes + man = moesman ? Our Dutch friend, Willem ?

Regards,
Jean
