THE “ONDERLEGGER”.

It is worth while to point out still another very serviceable boat

which has always been much in use. It is the _Onderlegger_ of which an

engraving is given by ~Witsen~ (p. 175) and which was used for heaving

vessels down for repairs, for pulling piles out of the ground, for

hoisting in masts, etc. It was 60 feet long, 16 feet broad, and 6½ feet

deep and carried two capstans.
