A little outside the peat and settlement museum we find the two peat ships here, which give an impression of how the transport in the fen region took place via the canals and rivers.

Historical ship models from the 19th century. These great pieces are a tribute to fen shipping and the small shipyards that were built during this time.Mutten (peat muttjes): Small, narrow and with a flat bottom - perfect for lovers of traditional ship design. - **Tjalken**: These workhorses of the waterways are characterized by their round bow and stern. As cargo ships, they transported peat from the moor and brought silt from the Wadden Sea to the moor, among other things, in order to improve the soil quality.
