The Medemblikkerloods on Willemsoord is a place where history comes to life. Here, wood is still worked, just as it was in the past. The name refers to the carpenters from Medemblik who practiced their craft here in the 19th century. In their original shed, dating from 1833, wood was dried after years of soaking in the Binnenhaven to soften it enough for working. After serving as a copper warehouse, metalworking shop, and storage for dockworkers, the old shed was demolished in the 1980s. But in 2003, it was rebuilt with the same design and renewed energy. It is now a well-equipped woodworking shop where restoration and maintenance of classic ships—from botters to sloops—are carried out. Thanks to support from the Wadden Fund and the efforts of dozens of volunteers, this shed has become a vibrant place. You'll also find an instruction room and storage facilities, all dedicated to preserving the Museum Harbor. Everything here exudes craftsmanship, a love of maritime heritage, and a focus on sustainability. The warehouse is managed by the Willemsoord Shipyard Foundation. A visit is more than just seeing – it's experiencing how past and future merge in wood, hands, and stories.

Boerenkapel de ‘Knorhanen’ is ontstaan in 1961 uit leden van Harmonie “Winnubst”. Er werd destijds een carnavalsvereniging opgericht en daar hoorde natuurlijk een boerenkapel bij. De carnavalsvereniging ontstond uit leden van voetbalclub WGW en muziekvereniging Winnubst dus een boerenkapel was zo voorhanden. Een naam voor de carnavalsvereniging werd gauw gevonden: CV de ‘Krabbetukkers’ en de naam ‘Knorhanen’ paste daar mooi bij. Een knorhaan is één van de weinige vissen die geluid maakt (dat doet hij als er gevaar dreigt, maar de kapel doet dat alleen als de gezelligheid dreigt).
