	Cornelius Jacobsen Mey
		Cornelius Jacobsen Mey was appointed by the Dutch West Company [DWI] to be the first director of what eventually became New Netherland and its major center and focus, New Amsterdam, in the summer of 1624.
		Mey was captain of a ship, the “Blijde Boodschap”, which under his command explored and surveyed the Delaware Bay area in 1620, and carried out trade with the Indians, again largely for furs.
		Cornelius Jacobsen Mey left a larger legacy behind than most of the succeeding directors of the DWI, largely because of the name he made for himself because of his explorations, especially in the Delaware Bay area.
