HISTORIC-SHIP REBUILDING —ALBANY, NY

KEEPING LIFE ON

COURSE.

IN THE 17TH

CENTURYOR THE 21ST.

SMARTPHONE OR VISIT GMC.COM/ACADIA_SHIP

Can you rebuild a 400-year-old Dutch sailing vessel by hand, with only the help of volunteers?

You can if you never say never.

When a group of New York Capital District residents set out to reconstruct the Onrust (Dutch

for “Restless”), the ﬁrst trading ship built in America, into a living (and ﬂoating) classroom,

they spent 3 years using authentic 17th-century Dutch building techniques to rebuild the

ship to its authentic 1614 specifications. With the help of GMC, they had the capability

they needed to haul materials, the resources they required to construct the engine room

and the perseverance it took to bring an important part of American history back to life.

SO WHAT DOES 17TH-CENTURY SHIPBUILDING

SAY ABOUT THE ENGINEERING OF THE GMC ACADIA?

That true craftsmanship is timeless. That the details are where you ﬁnd the difference. And

if you dream of building something to stand the test, there’s no substitute for professional

grade. It was as true in the 17th century as it is in the 21st: The right transport can make all the

difference when you’re trying to keep life on course. GMC ACADIA.
