HNLMS Bonaire

HNLMS Bonaire is a Samarang-class gunvessel of the Royal Netherlands Navy, now[when?]

under restoration as a museum ship.

Bonaire was built for the Royal Netherlands Navy as a gun vessel with barquentine rig and a retractable screw.

From 1924 she served at Delfzijl as living quarters for the Dutch Nautical College, and was renamed Abel Tasman.

After Abel Tasman lay abandoned for many years, a restoration programme began in 2005 at Den Helder to secure the future of the ship as a floating museum.
