As every year the National Dutch Towage Museum did her utmost to provide again for a succesful nautical day on May 20st 2017 in Maassluis. The supervision of this event is in the hands of the "Foundation Tugboat Harbour Maassluis." (SSM, in Dutch: Stichting Sleepboothaven Maassluis).
In May the traditional Nautical Day is being organized by the maritime foundations in Maassluis, united in the SSM.
On this day the visitor will enjoy a unique towing and tugboat scene. The old motor and steam tugboats as well as modern ones can be seen and visited and one can join a river tour on a number of these boats, the VOLHARDING, FURIE, ELBE and DOCKYARD. For a few euros per person you can join these tours. More than 400 tickets are available, that can be obtained at the National Dutch Towage  Museum. Unfortunately however, all tickets are already sold by now.
