The Scheepvart Museum en Oudheidkamer is located in Sneek, on Kleinzand – not far from the local tourist centre. The museum features a collection of maritime models, paintings, and related items that highlight the historical shipping industry of the area. The collection traces the industry from the 17th through to the 20th century. There is also a room devoted to the Visser family, who made their fortune by transporting eels to London during the 18th century.
