This film is from the Eye Filmmuseum collection. Many films in this collection contain outdated information or offensive language/images. While this is problematic, we do not wish to erase these films from (film) history. As a film museum, we show films as much as possible in their original form.

The opening scenes of this documentary were shot from a boat in the Zuiderzee approaching the port of Staveren. This once-famous Hanseatic city is now known as the pleasure boater’s gateway to the Frisian lakes. The film focuses mainly on Stavoren’s relationship to the Zuiderzee: the sluice, the harbour, and the promenade. We see images of children playing with homemade toys boats, and the departure train ferry to Enkhuizen, as well as its arrival. On this special boat, the wagons were transported in train formation.

De openingsbeelden van deze documentaire zijn gemaakt vanaf een boot in de Zuiderzee die de haven van Stavoren binnenvaart. De beroemde Hanzestad van weleer is nu vooral bekend als toegangspoort voor watersporters tot de Friese meren. De film richt zich vooral op Stavorens relatie tot de Zuiderzee: de sluis, de haven en de zeedijk. In de beelden spelen kinderen met zelfgemaakte speelgoedbootjes. Het vertrek van de spoorboot naar Enkhuizen is te zien en ook de aankomst van de spoorpont werd gefilmd. Op deze speciale boot werden wagons in treinformatie vervoerd.
