History
The Furie was built in 1916 by G.H.Bodewen at Martenshoek as the Bodewes 6. She was later sold to Holmen Bruke in Norrkoping Sweden, when she was renamed Holmen 3. The ship changed hands again in 1969 to A Akerlund in Stockholm and was named Holvick where she would tow timber rafts to the sawmills.
In 1976 she was purchased by AVRQ television to play the leading part in the T.V. series Holland’s Clone after the book of the same name, after which she changed hands again in 1977 to Handels Mij. In 1978 she was purchased by the Foundation Holland’s Clone, whose aim is to preserve the ship in her original condition.
The ship is now in Maasluis and open to the public where she gives frequent trips on the river and is part of the Tug Museum.
