correspondents", artists who went to sea to paint famous battles.

The ship yard of Master Builder, Willem Vos and his reconstructed 17th C.
merchant ship BATAVIA are also shown and maritime historian Herman Ketting
explains how marine art gives him vital details on ship design and on
typical shipboard life of the times Masters of Sea & Sail -  a truly
vigorous and informative 'eye-witness' account of one of the most colourful
periods of Dutch history
