Willem Barentz

As the Dutch are such a sea-faring nation, it is easy to find older vessels moored in harbours or underway, such as the ship in the distance at the entrance to Enkhuizen harbour.

 

In the forground, Willem Barensz, a traditional 3-mast sailing ship was built in 1931 and named after the 16th century Dutch navigator, map maker and Artic explorer. She now plies her trade on day trips on the IJsselmeer or Waddenzee, being used for corporate events, weddings etc.
