Vroeger op Vrijdag: Helling 2 en 3
In the series “Earlier on 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 van 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-Herleeft Foundation, where all kinds of artifacts from the old shipyard are on display. In episode 2, Ruud talked about crane 13, the only remaining crane that is still intact from the old shipyard. And in episode 3, Ruud talked about the resistance attempt in the Second World War under slope 4.
In this fourth episode, @Robin_Eline_ on a sun-drenched shipyard with Ruud to learn everything about slopes 2 and 3, or as we know them: the Y-Helling. We are also investigating the NLY site, because what actually happened in the past where café Noorderlicht is now located?
