Frouke

The sailing tjalk 'Frouke' was built in 1893 in Hoogezand. It has always served as a cargo ship. In the 1960s, it was converted into a charter vessel. Until the end of the century, it operated as a charter ship on the IJsselmeer and Markermeer. The current owners have had the ship since 1984, and starting in 2009, they undertook a major restoration. Since 2023, it has been sailing again as a private vessel.
