Visserijdagen, a Festival in Harlingen
The 17th century “pakhuis” (warehouse) “Java”, reminding of the trade with the formed Dutch East Indies and the other historical buildings along Harlingen's Noorderhaven form a backdrop for a beautifully preserved Frisian “botter”, a flat-bottom boat with its stabilisers on the sides, that can be lowered when required.
