The shanty's and seasongs on bladzijde 2 you can download free, with permission of the shantychoirs. One of these seamansongs is "Rotterdam", an old Estonian seamanssong, sung by The 'Hiskefiskers" from Terwispel in Friesland. A few years ago two boys from Estonia were working on a farm of one of the choirmembers. On a saturdaynight, after a few beers they began to sing this song, and the Hiskefiskers made their own version:

Bladzijde 3 contains my stories about ships, seamanslife and sailingboats. I intend to translate them into English, when I have more time..So for the full translation you have to wait another 5 years, when I retire..

On bladzijde 4 you find my favorite links, many of them are in English and also contain very nice pictures of ships.

Anyhow, I hope you will enjoy my site.

Surfing on internet, I found several sites with jokes and humor about shipping in English; I have put them together and will add more if I see real goody's. I did not hyperlink the URL's, they all have a lenght from here till Tokio:

In 1960 I passed for the first time the Suez-Canal, in Port Said I met Ali, who played the next game, and you always lost your money.
