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 the NDSM Herleeft Foundation. 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 this episode, you'll visit @teus .hagen in the cold winter months De Blauwdruk. (or well, it could just as well have been mid-May in terms of temperature). This is the museum of the NDSM-Herleeft Foundation, which houses various artifacts from the old shipyard.
