History

Bonaire was built for the Royal Netherlands Navy as a gun vessel with barquentine rig and a retractable screw. She was launched at Rotterdam on 12 May 1877.

From 1924 she served at Delfzijl as living quarters for the Dutch Nautical College, and was renamed Abel Tasman.

After Abel Tasman lay abandoned for many years, a restoration programme began in 2005 at Den Helder to secure the future of the ship as a floating museum.
