Adrian Block was a Dutch explorer and shipbuilder known for constructing the "Onrust," a 16th-century vessel. The Onrust, built in 1614, was notable for being one of the first ships to navigate the waters of what is now New York. Block used this ship for exploration and trade, significantly contributing to the early European understanding of the region. His innovations in shipbuilding also laid the groundwork for future maritime endeavors in North America.
