On 12 May 2025, the ship is in the port of Terschelling.

The Kamper Kogge a constructed after the example of a wreck excavated in Flevoland, near Nijkerk, which was built around 1340. This type of Kogge was one of the first reliable merchant vessels of north-western Europe with a relatively large cargo capacity.

The ship was seaworthy, fast and much larger than its predecessors. A Kogge had a carrying capacity of 60 to 100 tonnes and could carry large cargoes over long distances.

From the north they brought wood, grain, furs and stockfish, which was traded with salt from Portugal, wine from France, wool from England and spices from Genoa. Thus trade between the Hanseatic cities grew and flourished to great heights, bringing wealth and prosperity.

The people of Kampen were quick to participate in this trade. Kampen grew to become one of the four most powerful Hanseatic cities in north-western Europe. Kampen owes a lot to the Kogge.

Kampen and Terschelling are historically linked through the Brandaris.
