Maritime History Working Group: Members' meeting at the Skûtsjemuseum, Earnewâld (NL)

The board of the Maritime History Working Group invites its members to a meeting on Saturday 18 October in Earnewâld at the Skûtsjemuseum.

The afternoon will be devoted to the most famous type of ship in Fryslân: the skûtsje. Master builder Johan Prins has made a replica of the famous ship Aebelina, which won so many prizes in the nineteenth century that it was no longer allowed to compete in a number of races, and will talk about the construction of the ship. Prins' replica is on display in the museum. After the break, founder and director Age Veldboom will give a guided tour of the Skûtsjemuseum.

Guests are welcome.
