Guided tour of the model at Kaap Skil

The Reede van Texel was the center of world trade in the 16th and 17th centuries. At that time, the sea near Texel was full of trading ships. At the impressive model at Museum Kaap Skil you imagine yourself in 1660, looking out over the sea. Some ships have sunk and are still there, but on the seabed. One shipwreck is very special: the Palmhoutwreck. Here divers found the most exclusive objects. The wreck appears to contain the belongings of a super-rich family! Discover more about the Reede van Texel and the finds from the Palmhout wreck in a guided tour.
