Aboard the Amsterdam, we got to check out all it's decks and cabins. Given my last experience on a rebuilt 17th century ship (the Batavia), I kept close tabs on my camera this time. On the ship, we saw the galley, Captain's quarters and cabin, main cabin, surgeon's cabin, holds, storage areas, and gun room. It was very nice inside. The museum has a good description of the ship - http://www.scheepvaartmuseum.nl/index.php?PageID=189. It's great just being able to wander freely about such a magnificent ship and see all the rigging and woodwork throughout. The pictures are:
Bow mast
Lion sculpture on the bow
Two of the three masts
