Trying-out
an anatomy of Dutch whaling and sealing in the nineteenth century, 1815-1885
€ 29,90 € 7,90
‘Trying-out’ describes and analyses a wide array of initiatives leading to the hunt, by Dutch whalemen, of whales and seals in Arctic waters, the temperate zones of the South Pacific and the waters of the Dutch East Indies during the major part of the nineteenth century (1815-1885) – an era neglected so far. Schokkenbroek, curator at the National Maritime Museum Amsterdam, focuses on the men involved in the two maritime industries – be it on shore or aboard the whaleship.

Hamel’s World
In 1653 the VOC ship Sperwer smashed to pieces on the rocks off a remote Korean island. There were thirty-six survivors. The king of Korea decided that the foreigners should spend the rest of their lives in his hermit kingdom. The Dutchmen were provided with food and housing and a certain amount of freedom of movement, but had no choice but to accept their fate. After 13 years eight of them managed to reach Japan in a small, barely seaworthy boat. Hendrik Hamel¹s report on their adventures soon became available to a wider public. For two centuries it was the most important source of information about the mysterious kingdom of Korea. It continues to fascinate as a report of a meeting between two completely different cultures. In 2003, 350 years after the event, the stranding of the Dutchmen is widely commemorated in Korea. The present book includes Jean-Paul Buys' modern English translation of a complete version of Hamel's Journael. Additional chapters by Leonard Blussé, W.J. Boot, Vibeke Roeper and Boudewijn Walraven describe the world familiar to VOC employees and the strange world of the Far East which, much against their will, Hamel and his compatriots came to know so well.

De locatie van het Nationaal Militair Museum kent een bewogen geschiedenis. In 1913 werd door het Ministerie van Oorlog vliegkamp Soesterberg aangekocht, de bakermat van de Nederlandse luchtmacht. Op 12 november 2008 nam de Koninklijke Luchtmacht afscheid van haar geboortegrond en sloot de vliegbasis haar poorten, om in 2014 weer geopend te worden als Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg en Nationaal Militair Museum. 'Nationaal Militair Museum' vertelt niet alleen het verhaal van de bouw van het spectaculaire museum, maar biedt ook een toegankelijk overzicht van de topstukken uit de collectie.geschiedenis
