Museum Shipyard 't Kromhout

Shipyard 't Kromhout located at the Hoogte Kadijk in Amsterdam, is one of the very few still operating shipyards of cultural and historical importance. What makes 't Kromhout unique is that it is a combination of an industrial monument, an operating shipyard and a museum.

Active repair yard
Established in 1757, Shipyard 't Kromhout is a living museum which still has an active repair yard. The main activities at the shipyard are restoration and repairs of all kinds of floating vessels, both modern and historical. Ships still lie on the shipway.

Museum
The museum consists of an exhibition where shipbuilding and the development of naval-propulsion are visualized. Here you will find the oldest remaining steam winch, and other ancient shipbuilding-tools and steam-engines. The museum also has a fine collection of internal combustion engines of which the Kromhout engines form a good part.
