19 aug Sail Amsterdam 2015

Sail Amsterdam has truly unique character among the nautical events because of the participation of the biggest world’s sailing ships. Seeing them sail near the old city of Amsterdam, gives a lasting impression to a visitor.

Bonebakker has been supplying silver hatches to the Royal Family to cut the ropes that attach the ship to the shore the very first time the ship sails out. This beautiful decorated piece shown below has been made for Queen Wilhelmina.
