EG 4 Drie Gezusters

4 Drie gezusters), nicknamed Het Witneusje van meester Tijsma,[1] was a Dutch fishing Bomschuit [nl] (pink) in the 19th-century.

During her third trip while fishing at Camperduin, the weather deteriorated, and skipper Hendrik Groen decided to go to Egmond.

Because the weather became worse with wind force 8, it was not possible to sail to Egmond and it was decided to go to Den Helder instead.

[3] Upon arrival at 3 a.m., despite the bad weather, there were still people waiting on the beach and the ship was festively welcomed.

The mayor of Texel Jan Carel Wendel Strick van Linschoten had written an extensive report to the King's Commissioner.

[5] The painting was presented by the Skippers and fishermen's association to the mayor during a special festive evening.

[2] A lithograph of the painting is at the Museum Kaap Skil [nl] along with a ship model of the blazer.
