Don't forget clicking on the link to the Dutch site ('nederlands' on the top red banner), it has many more images than the English site...

Oh yes! I still have to go see that one. Even better since my great (*X) grandfather commanded one of her sisterships.

If you ever visit the Bataviawerf, do not forget to walk to the nearby NISA, the Dutch National Centre for Maritime History, [url:rvfmugme]http://www.bataviawerf.nl/en/nsc.html[/url]. It is nice to see how the reconstruction workers are active, and hear one of them explain that he doesn't like "that recent avalanche of Roman ships", because there are so many far more interesting medieval ships.
Here [url:rvfmugme]http://www.livius.org/a/1/germania/woerden_7_lelystad.JPG[/url] you see the Woerden-7 waiting for preparation.
