Description
We, are looking for someone helping us maintaining our river-stage, a former tug boat (mainly by de-rusting, sanding and painting). This is quite a tough physical task which we manage with a small group of volunteers (specialist-jobs are done by professionals). We, two vegetarian-eating guys, live together on the ship and from our volunteers we ask responsibility for their work and behaviour.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will stay in the very centre of Rotterdam, flexible helping on maritime cultural heritage. We are ready to help you to find your way in Rotterdam and the rest of The Netherlands. And of course you can learn some skills from our very kind volunteers (as well as we of course can learn some things from you)!
Help
Help mainly by de-rusting/sanding, painting (and/or welding the ship if you have this competence). Our volunteers are very willing to support you, but of course you are also punctual yourself and willing to bear responsibility for what you are doing. With our usuall precautionary measures the tasks are not dangerous. And, in case this is important for you: we have an decent insurance (of which we fortunately in the past 16 years never had to make use of).
