Discover historic ships and maritime heritage in the harbor.

During this program, you will see remarkable vessels up close. From former navy ships to steamships, tugboats, and fishing trawlers. Each ship tells something about life and work on the water.

View ships with a story

You can see, among others, Hr.Ms. Mahu, a former Royal Netherlands Navy minesweeper from 1961. Also waiting to be discovered are AMS Bernisse, Hr.Ms. Nautilus, and the steamship SS Christiaan Bruinings. Furthermore, you will find the Sperwer, HD35 and HO36, Ansjovisjoi KH44, and the steam tug De Noordzee.

Experience the harbor on the water

The Zeemanspot is also part of the program. This is a boat tour for residents of Zorggroep Tellus. In this way, maritime heritage not only comes close, but is also set in motion.
