Summary
| Description |
English: View of the "Graft," or Canal in Broad Street, and the Fish Bridge, 1659. The correct spelling is "Gracht" which means Canal in Dutch. A deep and natural inlet on the east side of New Amsterdam was transformed by the Dutch into a large, timber-lined canal called the Heere Gracht. It was named after the Herengracht in Amsterdam. When the English acquired New Amsterdam, they filled the canal and renamed it Broad Street. The Fish Bridge that crossed the street became Bridge Street. |
