Texel, Maritime museum ship complex in Den Helder, Netherlands
The Texel lightship stands in Museumharbor Willemsoord, featuring original navigation equipment and maritime exhibits from its service period.
The vessel operated as a maritime beacon along the Dutch coast for forty years until it encountered difficulties on a slope in 1951.
The museum ship represents the strong connection between Den Helder and its naval heritage through preserved maritime artifacts and educational displays.
Visitors can access the museum from Tuesday to Thursday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM at Willemsoord 73 in Den Helder.
The vessel transformation from an active lightship to a museum exhibits the technical evolution of maritime navigation systems through the 20th century.
