You will find authentic ship models, maritime paintings, topographical maps, navigational charts, engravings etc. The collection also contains a number of objects that characterize former life at sea and in the harbor. Navigational instruments at sea or on the coast, a portion of the 15-17th century gold trading coins found in Brouwershaven, models of ship artillery and several other interesting and/or curious items.
