HISTORY
The Conrad shipyard moved from Haarlem to Zaandam in 1912 and launched its first ship in December 1913. Dredgers for the Dutch East Indies were built on this site, and in 1929–1930 fifteen "Kempenaars": cargo vessels designed for narrow, shallow waterways. After the crisis years and a bankruptcy in 1940, the yard was demolished in 1941. Later, a distribution centre of the supermarket chain Simon de Wit stood here. The street name Conradwerf keeps the shipbuilding history alive.
