Hermanus Petrus Schouten’s etching *Gezicht op het Oost-Indisch Zeemagazijn en de VOC-scheepswerf op Oostenburg te Amsterdam* (c. 1770-1783) depicts the East India Company's (VOC) shipyard in Amsterdam. The scene showcases the busy harbor, with several ships docked at the wharf, including a large sailing vessel at the center, and smaller boats transporting people across the water.
