About the artwork

Details of an original 'kwak' in the city of Volendam, the Netherlands.

A Volendammer kwak is a wooden flat-bottomed ship, very similar to the better-known Zuiderzee botters, but a bit larger and with a different construction in a number of ways. When the IJsselmeer was still the Zuiderzee, the kwak was used by the people for the kwakkuil fishery for shrimp. A funnel-shaped net was dragged along sailing downwind. The net opening was kept wide by fishing lines, which ran from the ends of two sideways protruding kwakbooms.

There are still 4 preserved: the VD172, the VD84, the VD5 and the VD17. These four ships can be found in the harbour of Volendam.
