Schroevendok Straatman is a striking national monument from 1928. It belonged to the Machinefabriek L. Straatman Ketelmakerij, which was located at the Kuipershaven from 1902 to 1996. The dock was used to partially lift ships out of the water so that the ship's rudders and screws could be repaired or replaced from floating wooden platforms. The dock is still in operation, making it a living monument!
