BARENT ZANEN dredger

Post by aukepalmhof » Tue May 21, 2013 8:58 pm

The Netherland issued in 2012 a set of 10 stamps for the 60th anniversary of Madurodam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madurodam
Three stamps of this set which are made after real photo’s of the objects are interesting for the shipstamp collector.
The VOC stamp shows us the replica of the VOC ship AMSTERDAM.
The port of Rotterdam with a variety of ships, not one so far identified.
The other stamp is the dredger BARENT ZANEN seen rainbowing at the 2e Maasvlakte at Rotterdam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbowing http://www.isaris.nl/ppm/dredging/index ... bWvAmdzjbA

The small vessel visible between the two red ships in front is the training vessel of the Dutch Pilot Services (Loodswezen) - named Mercuur.
