East Indiaman Amsterdam
Amsterdam sent its sailors to the other part of the world to purchase spices, herbs and silk. Half the number of the crew that were crimped into VOC service as sailors did not make it back and died on their voyage to far away places like the East Indies.
The Amsterdam
During the renovation of the Scheepvaartmuseum (Dutch Maritime Museum), the East Indiaman Amsterdam, a replica of a Dutch trading ship, is docked at the NEMO building. The Amsterdam is open to the public from Tuesday through Sunday: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
How to get there?
Take one of the many trams that lead to the Central Railway Station (Centraal Station) and walk from there to NEMO via a specially constructed promenade and bridge crossing the Oosterdok, Amsterdam's old harbour. Follow the signs for "Route Oosterdok".
