A local would say...

Henry Hudson sailed from this weeping tower in 1609 and founded New Amsterdam — now called New York

A medieval defence tower from 1487 where sailors' wives supposedly wept as ships departed for the East Indies. Henry Hudson sailed from here in 1609 on the voyage that led to the founding of New Amsterdam (now New York). A VOC-themed café now occupies the ground floor.
