Rebel Witch Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Replica of an east indiaman that is docked in Amsterdam as part of a nautical museum. Let me just say that Amsterdam is one hell of a beautiful place to visit, even when it is cold and wet. Enjoy the tour! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roelandus Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Ah the memories, has been years since i visited it. Although it is not completely historically accurate it remains a very pretty ship which looks accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Budd Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Although not an original, it's nice to see a replica of one of these great trading ships of the 18th century. I found this video on youtube about HMS Trincomalee, which I have visited on several occasions and it's well worth a visit if you ever get the chance. I remember it being in Portsmouth as a training ship, during the early sixties, when I was in the Royal Navy. You will see in the video what it looked like in those days. They have made an excellent job of restoring it back to HMS Trincomalee again set against the historical dockside of the Hartlepool Maritime Museum. You might also enjoy watching this old video of HMS Victory taken in 1995, which takes you on a tour of the ship, before it was brought up to Trafalgar condition for the bi-centenary in 2005. Since then more of the ship below decks are open to the public and it is well worth a visit, if ever you get the chance to visit Portsmouth. Other historical ships that can also be visited in Portsmouth Dockyard, are King Henry VIII'ths flagship Mary Rose and the 1st Iron Clad Battleship HMS Warrior. HMS Victory & Mary Rose video below. And finally HMS Warrior built in the reign of Queen Victoria. Edited October 17, 2016 by Billy Budd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
