The VOC in her second homebase
The three main buildings of the VOC chamber Zeeland in Middelburg are displayed on this single plate:
Around the corner of the shipyard is still the house of the upper-provisions master. He was responsible for the construction and equipment of ships.
Ships of the Zeeland Chamber of the VOC (un)loaded from Rammekens. This fortress breaths history including Napoleon, German defenses during WWII and the North Sea flood of 1953. The fortress (which is difficult to find) is open to the public and worth a visit.
