Very interesting build. I have seen the replica in progress at the Batavia wharf in Lelystad a few years ago and it's a pity they have run out of funds to continue. This is by far the most famous ship in Dutch history and therefore would deserve a better fate. The original had been in service for 30 years, that must have been a long time, given the primitive maintenance and preservation methods of those days, I suppose.
