Maneuvering the armored ship was a difficult job for the tugs. The ship was slowly maneuvered through the harbor on its way to the Jan Blanken Dry Dock, which required a lot of precise coordination. Preparation was also necessary for the passage through the locks due to the draft of the ship, before divers had inspected the passage.

Naval Ram ship "HLMMS Buffel".
An impressive ship, the black heavy armor and high deck of the HLMMS Buffel make this ship a very special historic ship in the historic harbor of Hellevoetsluis.
Quote: Bijna symbolisch zoals de Buffel voor zeer lange tijd voor anker is gegaan in een vertrouwde thuishaven.

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..

After the arrival of the armored ship HNLMS Buffel on October 5, 2013, it was docked in the aft dock of the historic Dry Dock Jan Blancen. Not because the ship needed immediate maintenance, but because the berth and the rest of the Koningskade were still under construction.
The sight of the armored ship HNLMS Buffel in the dry dock was of course very special to see. Contemporaries and old acquaintances of each other from a time when the Hellevoetste harbor was still a real naval port and also the predecessor of the current naval port in Den Helder.

The final phase in october 2013 during the relocation of the Hr.Ms. Buffel was docking the ship in the Dry Dock Jan Blanken. Maneuvering the armored ship was a difficult job for the tugs. The ship was slowly maneuvered in the Jan Blanken Dry Dock, which required a lot of precise coordination. Due to the size of the ship, there was only very limited space in the historic dry dock. Together they formed a unique historical sight in the Maritiem Kwartier of this former Dutch naval 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.

Hellevoetsluis: Fortresse Holland - Documentairy Photography
Ramtower ship Buffel (Est. 1896) - a heavily armored ram ship in service of the Royal Navy until 1973 as "Hr.Ms. Buffel" or "Hr.Ms. Buffel" (NATO number A 884). Built in 1868 at the Napier & Sons shipyard of Glasgow. The first ship of the Royal Navy without sails, a large armored 2.198 ton ram ship with a steam engine and two propellers. Equipped with an armament of a heavy ram on the bow, several guns and operated by a crew of 150 men.
The ships role was to defend the Dutch coast and later used as an accommodation ship. Nowadays it's a museum ship "Ramtoren schip Buffel" in Hellevoetsluis. Almost symbolically anchored in the "Maritime Quarter" of the "Fortresse Holland" museum in Hellevoetsluis. In a harbor area with various other historical ships and nearby structures all securely anchored in Dutch history for future generations. It's a location with many more national history facts being a important port and naval base for centuries.

Strangely enough, I was the first and for a long time the only one this early morning, the first night of the HNLMS Buffel back in the dry dock and in Hellevoetsluis. It was still quiet on and around the historic dock, the armored ship looked grand and gigantic in the old dock. A unique moment, an almost 200-year-old dock and a hundred-year-old ship, which have even been contemporaries in the past.

Droogdok Jan Blanken - the Dry dock Jan Blanken is a national monument built for the Dutch navy between 1798 and 1822 (architect Jan Blanken) in Hellevoetsluis for the construction and maintenance of ships. Equipped with new techniques such as a pump house (rebuilt in 2001, now a restaurant) with a James Watt steam engine and hundreds of piles were driven into the ground for the dock foundation. The dock has a ship door (type of lock, French invention), and devided in a maintenance and construction section, the walls of which are constructed as an amphitheater to facilitate easy ship maintenance. The naval frigate Euridice was the first ship to be docked.
After the departure of the Dutch Navy until 1970, in operation, completely restored in 2005, and now a museum with the still fully functioning dock for maintenance on ships.

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..

Historical steam crane Boele 8 (Est. 1945) that could run on rails along the dry dock Jan Blanken. Placed at the Dok years ago from the Boele shipyard in Bolnes but has no further connection with the Dok except for a nice object along the Dok. The crane does have a steam certificate, but it is no longer suitable for hoisting where there is a regular need in the Dry Dock and instead a mobile crane is hired.
The steam crane has been relocated at the Mechanical Heritage Center (MEC) in Dronten since October 2016.

After the arrival of the armored ship HNLMS Buffel on October 5, 2013, it was docked in the aft dock of the historic Dry Dock Jan Blancen. Not because the ship needed immediate maintenance, but because the berth and the rest of the Koningskade were still under construction.
The sight of the armored ship HNLMS Buffel in the dry dock was of course very special to see. Contemporaries and old acquaintances of each other from a time when the Hellevoetste harbor was still a real naval port and also the predecessor of the current naval port in Den Helder.

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.

Strangely enough, I was the first and for a long time the only one this early morning, the first night of the HNLMS Buffel back in the dry dock and in Hellevoetsluis. It was still quiet on and around the historic dock, the armored ship looked grand and gigantic in the old dock. A unique moment, an almost 200-year-old dock and a hundred-year-old ship, which have even been contemporaries in the past.

Hellevoetsluis - Fortresse Holland - Droogdok Jan Blanken
Droogdok Jan Blanken - the Dry dock Jan Blanken is a national monument built for the Dutch navy between 1798 and 1822 (architect Jan Blanken) in Hellevoetsluis for the construction and maintenance of ships. Equipped with new techniques such as a pump house (rebuilt in 2001, now a restaurant) with a James Watt steam engine and hundreds of piles were driven into the ground for the dock foundation. The dock has a ship door (type of lock, French invention), and devided in a maintenance and construction section, the walls of which are constructed as an amphitheater to facilitate easy ship maintenance. The naval frigate Euridice was the first ship to be docked.
After the departure of the Dutch Navy until 1970, in operation, completely restored in 2005, and now a museum with the still fully functioning dock for maintenance on ships.
