Looking from the quayside
Working vessels, sailing ships and lifeboats offer different shapes and functions to compare. Pay attention to the hull, the superstructure and the explanations available. The quay gives an overview without you having to go inside every vessel.
A former shipyard as a setting
Dry docks and workshops are part of Willemsoord’s maritime character. See how the ships and the site relate to each other. For a guided tour with more background, contact the foundation.
On board only as arranged
Individual ships have their own opening times and admission conditions. The Lichtschip Texel does not automatically follow a general harbour timetable either. Only board a ship where visits are explicitly offered, and check the current calendar.
Before you go
The site can usually be viewed freely; access on board and guided tours must be arranged separately.
