VOC-schip Amsterdam

De replica van het VOC-schip de Amsterdam ligt sinds 1989 aan de steiger van Het Scheepvaartmuseum. Wat begon als werkgelegenheidsproject voor jongeren in een tijd met veel werkloosheid, is uitgegroeid tot dé plek om meer te leren over de geschiedenis van de VOC.

Wat is de Amsterdam voor schip?

De Amsterdam is een spiegelretourschip. Dit type schip was het belangrijkste en grootste type goederenschip van de VOC; de Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie. In de 17e en 18e eeuw zeilden deze Oost-Indiëvaarders naar Azië. De schepen vervoerden op de terugreis naar Nederland specerijen, porselein, thee, zijde en textiel. De reis duurde ongeveer acht maanden. Alle Oost-Indiëvaarders tezamen maakten in twee eeuwen tijd bijna vijfduizend van die reizen.

De ondergang van de Amsterdam

De originele Amsterdam vertrok in 1749 vanaf Texel voor haar eerste reis naar Batavia, het huidige Jakarta in Indonesië. Op de Noordzee kwam het schip in een vliegende storm en raakte een zandbank, waardoor het roer afbrak. Schipper Willem Klump besloot het stuurloze schip te laten stranden op de Engelse zuidkust. Hij hoopte zo de 333 mensen aan boord, de lading en het schip te redden. Toen de Amsterdam strandde voor de Engelse plaats Hastings kon men de bemanning, een groot deel van de lading en de 28 kisten met zilver redden. De lokale militie heeft het schip vervolgens beschermd tegen plunderaars. De Oost-Indiëvaarder zakte al snel weg in de zachte bodem.
