Sandy port
Although the KW88 mainly fished shrimp and flatfish, a large part of the Katwijk fleet also fished for herring.

Flat bottom
Thanks to their flat bottoms, these ships could be pulled onto the beach with the help of a number of horses.
Although it was 'easy' to land on the beach with the flat bottom, it was not an easy job at all.
When landing, they often came into hard contact with the bottom and sandbanks, which meant that they lasted much shorter than keel ships.
