Royal Boat Parade Amsterdam 2013
On the occasion of the celebrations for the inauguration of King Willem Alexander on 30th of April, the City of Amsterdam has invited production company IDTV and Stichting Sail Amsterdam to collaboratively organise the Royal Boat Parade. Next to the tall ships a beautiful and broad delegation of Sailing Heritage has been invited to participate in the Royal Boat Parade. More than 130 ships will contribute to the story and all are typically Durch vessels, both used for work and pleasure. Also the Frigate ‘Shtandart’ has been invited to participate in the ‘Koningsvaart’ (Royal Boat Parade) on the river IJ. Frigate ‘Shtandart’ is an exact replica of the ship Tsar Peter the Great built in 1703.
