East Indiaman Amsterdam

The Amsterdam ship was imitated, which is also a symbol of its trade to the Far East, as far as the Far East and other regions of the East India, and can also witness the strength of the Netherlands through the Amsterdam ship.

Amsterdam is a sightseeing boat moored in the canal. I really don’t know if it’s open to play or take a boat to visit the canal. But the boat is an antique boat, built or very beautiful, and I saw it on the edge of the canal by bicycle.

At dusk, I saw the Amsterdam on the edge of the canal, which was a cargo ship imitating the sixteenth century. It was mainly a cargo ship that kept goods in and out of the Far East. It was antique and retro in shape.

On January 26, 1749, a ship from the Dutch East India Company, with 300 people on board, ran aground near Hastings on the south coast of England. The Amsterdam ship was on its first voyage from the Netherlands to the Indonesian island of Java. The ship was loaded with loads of goods, including cloth, wine and silver. When the Amsterdam hit the soft soil of the seabed, the hull sank rapidly and was unable to rescue anything except silver because it was sinking too fast. The vast majority of the cargo was still on board and the hull was largely intact when the wreck was unearthed. It was the best preserved 18th century European ship ever unearthed.

The hotel in Amsterdam is InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam, just next to the canal, the price is about 400-500 EUR ／ nights. The location is very good, relatively safe, not far from the attractions in the city center, the subway is 3 stops away.

This is a long-standing traditional wooden ship, the shipbuilding process is extremely sophisticated, the cabin style is unique and very beautiful, really want to sit it across the Atlantic
