Photographer’s Note
I don't know how you call it, light ship?
This ship was situated for the coast of The Netherlands in the North sea as a light house on sea. Now it is permanent in the Harbour of Hellevoetsluis, South Holland.
Here is an other one, called "Breeveertien" now in the Rotterdam harbour.
Helllevoetsluis was once a famous navy harbour. In 1629: Piet Hein the famous Dutch sea heroo brought in the Silverfleet captured on the Spanish navy. William and Mary left in 1688 from here to the UK and also many batle fleets had this as home harbour.
