FRIESLAND balances the modern needs of a contemporary vessel with its historical appearance in combination with renewable and self- sustainable
energy solutions, economically and commercially useable aboard, ea based on the Dutch Fair Energy© project.
FRIESLAND is the first of a reproduction, the FRIESLAND, builded in steel on an existing seagoing casco.
That vessel, which was first built 1663 for the admiralty of Friesland, was one of the biggest warships with 96 piece cannonry that time.
It sails for nearly 30 years and just scrapped by age in 1692 after a lot of sea battles under command of Tjerk Hiddes de Vries.
Also as part of the fleet "Verenigde Provincien van Holland" at the sea battle near Solebay against the British-French Fleet, 1672.
The new vessel will be licensed as both a small passenger carrying vessel and a sailing school ship on ocean routes worldwide.
