f City Pays Tribute s To Dutch Heritage

jf CAPE MAY - The Third Annual Tulip Festival will celebrate Cape May's Dutch heritage. The spring event honors the Dutch sea captain. Cornelius Jacobsen Mey. who gave his name to the Jersey Cape while exploring the region on a voyage for the Dutch West India Comjjpny in 1621. Although it was another explorer sailing for the Dutch. Sir Henry Hudson, who actually discovered , the Cape in 1609 while exploring the Delaware Bay area. Captian Mey is \ credited with having made [ the first extensive explorations in 1621. The Dutch captain found the area especially hospitable and "much like nospuaDie ana muen line

home in Holland." he wrote. | CAPTAI N M E Y BOASTED SO about the ' region when he returned to The Netherlands that he was installed as the first Director General of the New Netherlands, the name given to all the coastal lands between Cape Cod and Cape Henlopen. Del., in 1623. The tip of the Jersey Cape reflects Capv tain Mey's influence in the 1 place names for several cities and the county, all now anglicized to May. Because the tulip is so J much associated with the Dutch of The Netherlands, and because it is such a welcome sight in the springtime, a tulip festival seemed the appropriate way to recognize the Dutch influence on Cape May. i Over 30,000 tulip bulbs have been planted by the city in the various parks and public spaces of the city and by private homeowners and businessmen. These colorful flowers recall Cape May's namesake and explorer. Capt. Cornelius Jacobsen Mey. The idea for a springtime festival in Cape May originated with Harry Lozour, when he was president of the Chamber of Commerce, while on a visit to Lewes, Del., across the Delaware Bay from Cape May. The celebration there of its Dutch heritage, and . the well-known tulip festival in Holland. Mich., inspired Lozour to initiate the organization of a similar festival for Cape May. Long known for its treasured collection of Victorian architecture. Cape May now celebrates its diverse history with the popular tulip festival as well as an autumn seafood festival and a springtime environmental festival. WHILE IT IS reasonable

to regard Captain Mey as the founder of Cape May, the influence of the New England whalers, who arrived here at about the same time, apparently overwhelmed that' of the Dutcl\. Many of them left for New Amsterdam, nowNew York. Today, reminders of Cape May's Dutch heritage are largely nominal. While Captain Mey gave the area its name, the Dutch domination was brief, and Cape May's principal appeal is in its abundance of Victorian architectural delights. It takes five to seven years to grow tulips from seed.
