Monday, the 29th of April 1652.
Marcus Hendricksz Vogelsang, ship's carpenter, presently intending to sail to New Netherland, requests that as much space may be granted to him in the most suitable place on Manhattan Island as he may require for erecting a slipway, shed, and a house. After due deliberation, it was decided to instruct the director to accommodate him with a suitable place.
