Amsterdam adventure

Four of us (two couples) booked the Avontuur for a wonderful four-day cruise around the Amsterdam area prior to a longer circumnavigation of the UK on a large cruise ship leaving out of Amsterdam. The sleeping accommodations were tight but comfortable. The salon area was large for relaxing, and the galley was completely equipped for any kind of meal prep, with provisions sourced from local groceries at our overnight stops. Our time on Avontuur took us out of its berthing spot in Amsterdam West...

Sailing into History: The Legacy of Sailing Ships in Amsterdam

Sailing into History: The Legacy of Sailing Ships in Amsterdam I. Historic Use of Sailing Ships in Amsterdam Amsterdam's story is closely intertwined with the sea. Established as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, the city rose to prominence in the 17th century, a period commonly known as the Dutch Golden Age. The city's booming economy was buoyed by its strong maritime industry and the extensive use of sailing ships for trade, exploration, and military purposes. Dutch East India Company (VOC) vessels, West Indiamen, and fluyts sailed from Amsterdam to all corners of the world, carrying goods ranging from spices and silk to grain and timber. These vessels turned Amsterdam into the world's foremost trading hub during the Golden Age, bringing untold wealth into the city.   II. Maintenance of Sailing Ships in Amsterdam Amsterdam's geography, crisscrossed by a network of canals, provided an ideal environment for the construction, maintenance, and repair of sailing vessels.

Navigating the Waters of Time: Sailing Ships of Indonesia I. Origin of Indonesian Sailing Ships The maritime history of Indonesia is vast and complex, dating back thousands of years. This archipelago, consisting of over 17,000 islands, has always been deeply connected to the sea. The Austronesian peoples, who are believed to have originated in Taiwan, arrived in Indonesia around 2000 BC, bringing with them advanced seafaring technology and setting the stage for the development of the region's sailing vessels. Among the most iconic of Indonesian ships is the 'pinisi', a traditional two-masted sailing ship. These vessels were first constructed by the Bugis and Makassar people of South Sulawesi, who were renowned for their seafaring abilities.   II. Historic Use of Indonesian Sailing Ships Historically, Indonesian sailing vessels were used for a variety of purposes, ranging from fishing and trade to warfare and exploration. As the country has always been a significant trading hub, ships l
