From 2006 to 2009 the Onrust Project, a [[non-profit organization]], directed by Don Rittner and Greta Wagle, built a replica of the ''Onrust'' at the [[Schenectady County Historical Society]]'s [[Mabee Farm Historic Site]] in [[Rotterdam Junction, NY]]. Master shipwright and naval architect Gerald DeWeerdt of the Netherlands, and shipwright Howard Mittleman of North River Restorations in Schenectady, N.Y. led the team of volunteers.<ref>[https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/setting-sail-on-the-hudson-river-400-years-later-29209254/ Hall, Wayne A, "Setting Sail on the Hudson River 400 Years Later", ''Smithsonian Magazine'', June 7, 2009]</ref> 

Construction used both modern power tools and traditional hand tools to build the ship, employing authentic 17th century Dutch ship building techniques rediscovered by ship archeologists in the Netherlands.<ref>[http://www.theonrust.com/ The Onrust Project].</ref> The material is mostly [[white oak]] with pine decking, most of which was sawn nearby by one of the volunteers. The replica is held together by more than 4,000<ref>{{cite news|title=Setting Sail on the Hudson River 400 Years Later|url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/setting-sail-on-the-hudson-river-400-years-later-29209254/}}</ref> hand-made [[black locust]] tree nails called [[trunnel]]s and iron rivets.  Much of the metal fittings and rivets were hand-made by local blacksmiths of wrought iron; others, as well as cannon, use authentic bronze.

The replica ''Onrust'' was first launched into the [[Mohawk River]] on May 20, 2009, and was able to participate in [[NY400]] that year, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage.<ref>{{cite news|last=Grondahl|first=Paul|title=Dutch replica ship Onrust needs cash to bring Albany history to life|url=https://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Dutch-replica-ship-Onrust-needs-cash-to-bring-10011167.php}}</ref>
