On Friday, April 26, the VOC ship will be closed to visitors all day due to maintenance on the power cables.
Temporary closure of the East Indiaman
During the recent maintenance in 2023 on the bow of the replica, conducted at the museum pier, wood pressure measurements were carried out. These measurements indicate that the bowsprit is in poor condition and therefore will be repaired at Damen Shiprepair Oranjewerf. The work is expected to be completed within two weeks. We aim to have the ship back at our pier by March 21, 2024.
