Weehawken Cove
Weehawken Cove is a cove on the west bank of the Hudson River between the New Jersey municipalities of Hoboken to the south and Weehawken to the north. At the perimeter of the cove are completed sections the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, offering views of Manhattan and the Palisades. The name Weehawken comes from the Lenape, and can translate as ''"at the end of"'',〔(''Weehawken'' ), Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, accessed June 13, 2007. "A township in Hudson County, N.J., seven miles northeast of Jersey City . The name was originally an Algonquian Indian term and later changed by folk-usage to a pseudo-Dutch form. Its exact meaning is unclear, but variously translated ... ''at the end'' (of the Palisades)...''"〕 either the Hudson Palisades or the stream which flowed from them into the cove, later the site of the nearby Lincoln Tunnel.
==Half Moon==
The first European to record visiting the cove was Robert Juet, first mate of the Half Moon captained by Henry Hudson, who anchored his ship in the cove on October 2, 1609.〔(Hoboken's earliest days: Before becoming a city, 'Hobuck' went through several incarnations ), ''Hudson Reporter'', January 16, 2005. "On October 2, 1609, Henry Hudson anchored his ship, the Half Moon, in what is now Weehawken Cove. Robert Juet, Hudson's first mate, wrote in the ship's log, "()e saw a good piece of ground ... that looked of the color of white green." The rock of which Juet wrote makes up Castle Point in Hoboken; nowhere else along the Hudson River exists a white-green rock formation."〕
He wrote: "We got down two leagues beyond that place and anchored in a bay clear from all danger of them on the other side of the river, where we saw a good piece of ground, and hard by it there was a cliff that looked of the colour of white-green, as though it was either a copper or silver mine, and I think it to be one of them by the
trees that grow upon it, for they are all burned, and the other places are green as grass."〔Juet, Robert (1625). ("Juet's Journal of Hudson's 1609 Voyage" ). ''Purchas His Pilgrimes''. New Netherland Museum. 2006.〕 The cliff described is now known as Castle Point.〔http://www.stevens.edu/sit/about/campus.cfm〕
