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 Maritiem Kwartier
This was the next day after October 5, 2013. The day the Hr.Ms. Buffel was 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..

A grand welcome back to Hellevoetsluis for the historic ship with a salute from the cannons on the harbor head and many spectators who can experience this historic event. The maritime historical past of Hellevoetsluis as a naval city is revived with a unique appearance, history seems to reunite again, the ship is back in its home port.

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..

Mainly used to eat with a small kitchen but also many other purposes by the crew, notice the bigger windows and extra storage and sleeping space along the sides.

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.

Hellevoetsluis: Ramtorenschip De Buffel Maritiem Kwartier
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.

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.

A grand welcome back to Hellevoetsluis for the historic ship with a salute from the cannons on the harbor head and many spectators who can experience this historic event.

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..

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..

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.

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.

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.
