Enjoy this sumptuous 45 minute video that captures the Golden Era of 17th
century Holland; a period of burgeoning growth and arts works by masters
such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. The seascape emerged a separate genre and in
this film are example of Dutch marine masters and the worlds first "war
correspondents", artists who went to sea to paint famous battles.

The ship yard of Master Builder, Willem Vos and his reconstructed 17th C.
merchant ship BATAVIA are also shown and maritime historian Herman Ketting
explains how marine art gives him vital details on ship design and on
typical shipboard life of the times Masters of Sea & Sail -  a truly
vigorous and informative 'eye-witness' account of one of the most colourful
periods of Dutch history
