You're standing by the Abraham Crijnssen, a small warship at the Navy Museum in Den Helder. She's a minesweeper from the 1930s, built by the Gusto shipyard in Schiedam and named after the seventeenth-century naval commander Abraham Crijnssen. Take a good look. This ship once pretended to be an island.
