Harllingen harbourscape

Europe, The Netherlands, Friesland, Waddenzee, Harns/Harlingen, Dike, Nieuwe Willemshaven, Lightship 8, People (cut from B&T)

 

The highlight of the Nieuwe Willemshaven is the lightship Jenni Baynton (aka Light Vessel 8). It was built in 1949 in the UK and was used as a discotheque 'Barocca' in Rotterdam throughout the nineties. Tighter municipal regulations put an end to that. The ship was stored in Waalhaven and thoroughly trashed by junks and vagrants. It was transported to Harlingen and renovated /transformed into a radio ship - between 2005 and 2015, 'Radio Waddenzee' was transmitted from the ship.

 

This is number 12 of the Harns/Harlingen album and 42 of Naar het Noorden.
