The museum is located in the master home of the former shipyard owner Van Damme. The listed building from 1830 contains valuable wall frescoes. The collection of the Scheepvaert Museum gives a global picture of shipbuilding in Flanders during the last two centuries. There is a permanent exhibition of ship models, plans and tools used in the construction of wooden and iron ships.

There have been shipyards in Baasrode since the 16th century. At the end of the 19th century, both wooden and metal seaworthy ships were built in the successful shipyards. It was an important source of employment for the residents of the municipality. The current museum was the home of the Van Damme family, owners of a shipyard. The Van Praet family, also shipyard owners, lived in the neighboring house. A visit to the museum is highly recommended. You can admire the neoclassical interiors but also become acquainted with an example of industrial archaeology.

🚢 The museum is working on the reconstruction of a historic botter - a traditional Dutch fishing vessel - called Rosalie, a project that is reviving traditional shipbuilding.
