< The foundation ‘Stichting Hollands Glorie’ has as its aim to maintain the ‘Furie’ in a seaworthy state, open her up for visitors, and restore her as far as possible to her original state.>


Back in Service

Returning her to and maintaining her in a seaworthy state succeeded in 1980. After two and a half years hard work the boiler was approved by the appropriate government authorities and since the engine was also functioning it was possible to sail. The ‘Furie’ was officially brought into service during a large maritime festival called the ‘Furie-ade’ which was organised by the foundation. This was carried out by Hugo Metsers who played the leading role of Jan Wandelaar in the television serial ‘Hollands Glorie’.
The ‘Furie-ade’ which is now organised by the ‘Stichting Maassluis Maritiem’ has subsequently grown to become one of the biggest annual maritime events.
