On the frayed fault line between city and port lies a rough and rusty area. For many Antwerp residents it is a blind spot on the map. But this place breathes harbor history. Nine dry docks, two workhouses for ship repairers, a pump house that is protected as a monument… Ships came and went and went there for repair in a dry dock. Until early 2018...

A blind spot on the map for many Antwerp residents. But this place breathes harbor history. Nine dry docks, two workhouses for ship repairers, a pump house that is protected as a monument. Ships came in and out and went there for repair in a dry dock until the beginning of 2018. Now we mainly find historic ships there. The vessel collection of the MAS left the Scheldt quays and found new accommodation on the site. The collection is cherished and maintained there, various foundations are restoring their old ships.
