Extra info:
This wooden flatbottem was built in 1886 by the Van Damme Shipyard in Baasrode (Belgium), and sails as coalship, after WW II she’s converted to motor tanker and sails as a supply ship at Amsterdam area until 1956.

In the ‘90’s she lay many years unused at Wintam on the Seacanal Brussels-Scheldt while her condition became worse and worse, even a tree growed in her weelhouse.

In 2006 a noble ship lover Jos De Wael bought her at a public sale and started immediatley with a completely renovation.
