A different engine room lullaby! In the engine room of the icebreaker Christiaan Brunings, built in 1900, stands a two cylinder compound steam engine of 375 hp with a maximum of 160 revolutions per minute. Since 1968, the Christiaan Brunings is owned by The Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam and is kept in sailing condition by volunteers. We see the firing up of the two furnaces under the boiler and the bunkering of coal in the Aziëhaven. The Christiaan Brunings is known to the wider public as the ‘stoomboot’ of Sinterklaas, the mythical bishop who brings gifts to the children of the Netherlands.
