About this work
Marken water boat. Model, c. 1850-1870. Marken water boats were originally fishing vessels from the island of Marken. In the late 17th century they began to be used for towing ships raised in ship's camels over the shallow waters of the Zuiderzee to Den Helder. There the ships received their cargo and crew.
