Hellevoetsluis - During the time of the United Provinces Hellevoetsluis was the naval port of the Admiralty of de Maze (Rotterdam) and could accommodate an entire fleet within a special land-enclosed fortress with harbour and dockyard facilities, accessible through a canal. Thanks to its strategic situation the town grew from the beginning of the 17th century to be the homeport for the Dutch war fleet. In later years the port was fortified more and more and Hellevoetsluis therefore became a unique combination of fortified town and naval port. The Admirals Maarten Tromp, Michiel de Ruyter and Piet Heyn had their home base here and in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution William III of Orange's invasion fleet departed from the port.

Event "Trossen Los" in the port of Hellevoetsluis. Ready for the 'Tour of Aquapark Splash!' with inflatable objects that would otherwise be on the beach now set up as an obstacle course in the water. It promised to be a very nice event, but the weather was very disappointing. The beautiful view was from the lighthouse of the Lightship 12 Noord-Hinder.

The month of September also brings days with fog and mist. Also tranquillity in the otherwise normal summer activity in the historic naval port. The horizon disappears into the mist, the harbor takes on a completely different appearance. Still a nice place to enjoy this typical September weather with a relaxing autumn walk.

Navigating the enormous ship in the historic naval harbor requires a lot of steering skills from the tugboats. Divers had previously inspected the passage through the lock near the bridge to ensure that there would be no obstruction to the ship due to the required draft.
It was very impressive for the spectators to see a ship of this size in the harbor. Something that happened much more often in the maritime past of this port when naval ships, but also the even more large historic sailing ships, still had Hellevoetsluis as their home port or were under maintenance in the dry dock..

Hellevoetsluis: Ramtorenschip De Buffel Relocation
October 5, 2013 - the Hr.Ms. Buffel towed from Rotterdam to Hellevoetsluis to be docked for a short period in the Drydock Jan Blanken before permanently moored in Hellevoetsluis

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.

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..

The city of Hellevoetsluis has four harbours richly filled with moorings for mainly motor yachts and sailing boats. During most months this means a pleasant liveliness both in the harbours and on the water.
