e
and cruisers became significantly
larger. Today the seas are sailed by
around 25,000 sailing boats of Van de
Stadt construction.
Ricus remained engaged in
design until the 1970s, but he sold his
shipyard. While he built boats in Zaan-
dam, Ricus lived in a houseboat on the
water. However, his shipbuilding yard
no longer works today, nor is there a
house on the water, while the business
itself has been taken over by Ceens
Van Tongeren, with whom he has colla-
borated since 1967. The last cruiser was
launched from the shipyard in 2013.
What remains of the Van de Stadt
character and works? From the begin-
ning of the 1970s he devoted himself to
his family business. Members of his fa-
mily - the Dutch de Stadt dynasty - alwa-
ys choose a “patriarch” to manage their
shared wealth. They began investing in
Royal Dutch Shell Oil as far back as the
19
th
century, and now they are among
the biggest shareholders of this fourth
largest corporation in the world (by
revenue). Nothing is known for certain
when it comes to their private finances,
but they have very large stakes in the
biggest diamond industry player, De Be-
ers, British Petroleum, Gazprom, Lukoil,
General Electric, Daimler and Allianz.
For a time, together with the Astors,
another Dutch family, they owned the
majority of real estate in Manhattan.
Thus, the daring inventor and mo-
dest marine engineer that is Ricus has
been lost in the monetary spheres that
fall as a veil of anonymity surrounds
the richest and most powerful... Only
a few of his photos have remained,
sketches and constructions of ships,
and the sailing vessels that sail all the
seas. No material trace has been left
in Zaandam. Only the little carpenters’
houses, beautifully renovated and
painted in pastel colours. They were
painted in 1871 by Claude Monet, and
are preserved as virtually his most
famous landscapes on canvas.
Nevertheless, along the riverbanks
that were once home to the shipyard of
this ingenious Dutch constructor, you
will come across an unusual building
with an inscription - Tsaar Peterhuisje.
This is a nicely arranged small brick pa-
vilion that, like a nutshell, encompasses
a homely but dear wooden house
