  • Description

    Description

    We are a small non-profit / volunteer organisation for art and maritime heritage.
    Two vegetarian-eating guys are living on the historical ship in the center of Rotterdam (together with a not so vegetarian eating cat). And there you also have your own sleeping room with private toilet and shower.
    From our volunteers we ask responsibility for their work and behaviour.
