Groningen - Northern Shipping Museum

(Local Name: Noordelijk Scheepvaartmuseum) At Brugstraat 24-26, to the west of the A-Kerkhof, is the Northern Shipping Museum (Noordelijk Scheepvaartmuseum), housed in two medieval buildings, the Gotisch Huis and Canterhuis (the latter with a 19th century extension). The collection illustrates the history of inland and coastal shipping and fishing since Roman times, with ship models, pictures, parts of ships and navigational instruments; there is also a new section devoted to motor-powered boats.
