This bronze ship gun was cast in 1614 by Johannes Burgerhuys in Middelburg. It probably comes from a ship of the Zeeland Admiralty. The gun was fished up in 1971 by the fishing vessel Breskens 5 in the North Sea west of Dunkirk. Through the mediation of the Huis en Heem association, which had a gun carriage made, it could be placed in 1983 on the dike along the Thoolse harbour, near the Brugstraat.

Ships come and ships go...
This is where sailor stories begin or end.
Nice to watch the activity.

Hiking

Nice idea: from the small marina (at hotel/restaurant JuNa Tholen at Kaaij 2) in Tholen, you can participate in a guided city walk every Saturday at 2 p.m. in June, July, August and September. Costs 5.00 euros per person. If you can't find parking, try it a little further on where the Kaaij makes a right turn and changes into the Bosstraat.
