This iron ship was built riveted in 1916 as any typical dutch sailing herring-net vessel of that era. The cultural foundation Azart bought the ship in 1989, called her Azart and transformed her in a Ship of fools, home and transport of an artists’ collectiveand theatre company. The ship, provides for the crew a home, kitchen, theatre/TV-studio and transport alike. All equipment and facilities are on board.

Azart promotes the local cultural climate by looking for a cross-cultural collaboration with artists collectives and social activists. The crew, itself coming from three continents, invites actors or musicians, directors, scriptwriters, costume or film makers. Through workshops a joint production is created and subsequently shown in neighboring cities and/or countries. Since 2007 the ship sails the Greek waters. As sailors, the Ship of Fools, inspired by Greek Mythology, has chosen "Jason of the Argonauts" for their 2008 performances.
