The Kamper Kogge medieval sailing ship
We are the foundation Kamper Kogge. Volunteers reconstructed a medieval cargo ship in the years 1992-1998. She was rebuilt after a wreck, found near Zeewolde/Nijkerk, the Netherlands: a cog from aound the year 1334.
After splashing the reconstruction, we learned how to sail with a traditional square rigged sail. We have volunteers from all over the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
Shipyard De Koggewerf
On our shipyard (Koggewerf) we share the Hanseatic past of Northern Europe and house other wooden boat foundations. The grounds are free to visit.

Sailing through the North of Europe
Did you know that the Kamper Kogge is the only sailing reconstruction of a 14th century cog in the Netherlands?
There are a few cogs and cog like ships in Germany and which we hold dear to our hearts and meet up with regularly during a Koggendisch to share experiences and prepare our co-visits when we visit the same events.
We sailed the Ijsselmeer, Waddenzee, North Sea, the English Channel, East sea and the Baltic Sea. We visited maritime and historic events in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom and of course the Netherlands.
Building our cog took approximately 150 cubic meters of oak wood and douglas fir harvested in Denmark, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Our volunteers live in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. Want to join the Cog crew? mail us, we speak Dutch, English, German and Kampers.
