Dutch West India Company receives its New Netherland (NY) charter= 6/3/1621

          We sailed away from Liverpool
          The weather being fine
          Bound for New York City boys
          It was our chief's design
          We being all Irish emigrants
          The truth to you I'll tell
          Who in distress our homes had left
          And to Ireland bid farewell

        "Captain Colstin," sung by Dick Gaughan on Parallel Lines, 1981

Thing is, if New Netherlands hadn't been chartered & if the natives didn't have a thing for bright beads, where would all those Irish in about 6,000 songs have emigrated to?
