Belgica replica under construction shows imposing skeletal structure

The ‘Belgica’ is the ship on which Belgian explorer Adrien de Gerlache sailed to Antarctica in 1896. At De Steenschuit, they have been working on a replica of the illustrious three-master for quite some time. The ship’s prow was installed in October last year, now the complex structure of wooden trusses is complete and construction is entering a new phase, which was presented to the general public on Sunday.
