Pushing ahead with the ‘Doordouwer’
Get on board the Doordouwer, an old sea-going lifeboat that allows you to do-it-yourself. The name Doordouwer means ‘stayer’ or ‘pushy one’.
This ship contains its original manual propelling system with eight handles, which are operated by opposite pairs with an alternating push-and-pull movement. As a result of this movement, the propeller is powered and the boat starts to move. In the old days, this was a reliable way for the crew to quickly move away from a sinking ship.
