The
middle Bossu house has a clear picture of Hoorn with its soaring
church towers,
Hoofdtoren in its town walls, and the harbour. The Sea
Beggar's fleet appears
to be battle ready, sailing at speed on the enemy.
The battle here turned
the whole sea war in Holland's favour.
This house, Slapershaven 2, with
number 1 and Grote Oost 132, belong
to the Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser.
Their restoration is dealt with in
great detail with plans photographs and
[Dutch] commentary in Huizen
in Nederland: Friesland en Noord-Holland [Waanders
Uitgevers Zwolle].
