Hr.Ms.Mercuur
welcome to the world of the Royal Dutch Navy
Located in the second inner
harbor of Scheveningen,
Hr. Ms. Mercuur is a wooden ocean minesweeper. She was built for the United
States Navy
and transferred to The Netherlands in 1954. Provided as part of the
Marshall Plan
(Mutual Defense Assistance Program),
Mercuur and five sister ships assisted in the vital job of clearing sea mines
from Dutch harbors
after the war. She was converted to a torpedo trials ship in 1972.
Mercuur is the only
Marshall Plan ship in the Netherlands.
