Additional Information |
the ship was in use as a light cargo ship until the Second World War. After that it was used to carry passengers between the West Frisian Islands and the Dutch mainland. In 2014, the current manager took over the ship and rebuilt it until 2015 to an excursion and training ship. The ship is still able to transport light cargo. |
