Here's a short impression of the build of the Zeven Provinciën at the Batavia Werf in Lelystad:
This is the Batavia werf. In the background the Batavia and to the right the scaffolding around what is to become the Zeven Provinciën.
View from stern to bow looking down towards the keel. Frames slowly being fitted.
Bow section (now corrected).
The Dutch lion figurehead.
Gives a rough idea of how the Zeven Provinciën will look. (now wouldn't this be a wonderful moment for Revell to jump in as sponsor and start planning a 1/96th scale model of this beauty?)
