The Heer of Dunderberg - Hudson Valley Highlands, New York

From the time when the first Dutch settlers came to New Amsterdam and the Hudson Valley, there has been a certain mystic about a sixty-five mile stretch of the Hudson all the way from Gravesend Bay to Pollepel Island located at a wide spot in the river approximately six miles north of West Point.  They believed that the Heer of Dunderberg dwelled in the highlands and kept watch over the River.  He would call upon his Storm Ship manned by witches and goblins to wreak havoc on seafarers making their way up and down the Hudson River.

The Dunderberg or "Thunder Mountain" on the left is said to be the home of the "Heer of Dunderberg", the Storm King of the Hudson Highlands who wreaks havoc on sailors that travel these waters.
