In the new series “Flashback Friday”, we shine a light on the NDSM shipyard's not-so-distant shipbuilding past. Between 1894 and 1979, among other things, cargo ships and tankers were built at NDSM. In 1950, it was even the largest shipyard in Europe! So reason enough to dive into history and look for stories from the past.
We do this together with Ruud from NDSM Foundation Revives. Teus and Robin go to the shipyard with him. Ruud has worked at the NDSM shipyard since 1962 and knows everything about how things used to work at the shipyard. In episode 1, we visited the Blueprint, the museum of the NDSM-Revives Foundation, where all kinds of artifacts from the old shipyard are on display.
In this second episode, @teus .hagen in the cold winter months, Ruud visits the shipyard's eye-catcher: Crane 13, also known as the Faralda crane. What is now a hotel with three luxury suites used to be a helper in building the ships on the Y-Helling. Ruud tells you everything about the crane and its rich history at the NDSM shipyard.
