Boats in the old harbor - Vestingdagen (Hellevoetsluis/NL)

Boats in the old harbor. Cozy with all those boats and yachts in the harbour, a nice mix between modern and yet quite a few classic ships. The sailing ships are certainly beautiful, also on the water.

Vestingdagen - Harbour

The Vestingdagen (Fortress Days) in Hellevoetsluis, an annual multi-day event since 1979. Very popular and with lots of activities in and around the former naval base of the Netherlands. With many historic and vintage ships and vehicles, steam engines, fair and market, various types of demonstrations in the air and ofcourse on the water. Also, lots to do like short boattrips, visit the various musea, watch the naval parade and fireworks show late at night. With about 200.000 visitors in total a well attended event.
