Catalogue information
This bag comes from the ship and yacht yard Gebr. Akerboom NV in Leiden During the sixties this company had (and still has) a good reputation with foreign customers, who had pleasure yachts and other small ships built there. This shipyard was located on the eastern bank of the Oude Rijn between the south side of the bridge, over which the A4 motorway was built, and the north side of the railway bridge of the Leiden-The Hague line. After a reclassification, that old part of the Oegstgeest (Hooge Morsweg) was transferred to the municipality of Leiden. The shipyard still exists and is a fully-fledged subsidiary of the Koninklijke de Vries Group. (information from Pieter van Duijvenbode)
