Ship navigation into Drydock Jan Blanken - Ramtorenschip De Buffel (Hellevoetsluis/NL)
The final destination for the armored ship iin this trip s located at the end of the former naval port "Haaven het Groote Dok". During the first period in Hellevoetsluis, the ship will be docked in the Jan Blanken Dry Dock.
This was not an easy maneuver because the pulling tugboat could now not go ahead without locking itself in the dock. The large ship was guided very slowly into the dock, which was extra difficult because it only just fit and of course the historic dock itself could not be damaged..

Ramtorenschip De Buffel (Est. 1896) - this ironclad ram ship was in service of the Royal Dutch Navy until 1973 as "Hr.Ms. Buffel" or "HNLMS Buffel" (NATO number A 884). The first ship of the Royal Dutch Navy without sails, a heavy armored ram ship using a steam engine and two propellers. Equiped with an armament of a ram on her bow, several guns, serviced by a crew of 150 men. Her main task was to play a role in the Dutch coastal defense, later in use as an accommodation ship. From February 7, 2015, the Buffel is permanent moored at the Koningskade, Maritime Quarter of Fortresse Holland together with the other historic ships such as the minesweeper Bernisse, the Lightship 12 de Noord-Hinder (1963) and of course the stone Dry Dock Jan Blanken from 1806 with pump house.
