Description

Explore the Houseboat Museum in Amsterdam. Step aboard the Hendrika Maria, a 1914 cargo ship that was converted into a residential houseboat in 1967. Discover how the family of 4 used to live on the ship when it was still used as a freight barge. The interior is still original from the 1970s when it started to get used as a regular house. This will be a throwback in time - be prepared for a lot of orange, yellow, and brown colors. The boat also has an original sailing mast and a leeboard, both very practical for the sailing back then when it used to go to Scandinavian countries for good transportation. See and feel how the houseboat residents have lived for more than 100 years on this historical boat. The museum is interactive and there is a lot of knowledge shared during the visit.
