The 23m-long Hendrika Maria, a former cargo ship from 1914, offers a good sense of how gezellig (cosy, convivial) life can be on the water. A map lets you navigate its interior; the actual displays are minimal, but you can watch a presentation on houseboats (some pretty and some ghastly) and inspect the sleeping, living, cooking and dining quarters with all the mod cons. It's closed Mondays year-round and Tuesdays and Wednesdays November to February.
