Shipyard De Hoop

Shipyard ‘De Hoop’, a well-known name in Workum and far beyond. Located next to the lock for over three hundred years. The board focuses on preserving the buildings and grounds, and aims to keep the traditional craft of ship carpentry alive. On this website, you will find information about the shipyard: its future, activities, restoration plans, and in general, what the yard has to offer you.

Until recently, the yard masters managed this website. In autumn 2020, the yard was without a yard master, so the foundation took over the management of the site. We will, of course, keep you informed about the appointment of a new yard master. From time to time, we publish articles related to classic shipbuilding in general and the history of the yard in particular. We wish you lots of reading and viewing pleasure.
