The Pirate and the Orphan
Magdalena married Cornelius Hendrickson Van Dort in the early 1650's.He was also known as "Cornelius Caper" or "Kees de Caper" in reference tohis trade as a sailor. He was also allegedly a privateer (a piratecommissioned by a government to capture foreign ships), as "caper" wasanother term for pirate. It is known that he was in the boat-buildingbusiness as well. During a period when tensions rose with the Britishcolonies, he constructed cannon mounts for Fort Amsterdam and refurbishedone of the government's small ships in preparation for possible war.

Van Dort was known as a doer and a darer. By his industriousness hetook his young family out of relative poverty and moved them into theirown home on Slyck Steght (now South William Street). He was the onlysailor brave enough to venture (for a reward) into the treacherouswhirlpool of Hellgate to retrieve Thomas Young's stranded ketch.

He was not in the government militia, apparently, as he did not goalong with Peter Stuyvesant's 600-man army to drive the Swedes out oftheir Delaware colony in the summer of 1655. At dawn on the 15th ofSeptember, while this army was gone, a fleet of 64 Indian canoes showedup at Manhattan Island. These Indians had been at peace with thecolonists for nearly ten years, with a few exceptions. Many of them wereknown to the Dutch settlers through long-standing trade and socialcontacts.

The Indians disembarked and began roaming through the settlement,saying they were looking for members of a tribe with whom they were atwar.
