  • Here Tsaar Peter The Great Emperer of Russia lived incognito. He learnt about the ship building in The Netherlands. Later he was invited by the Dutch Queen & felicitated with honour. This house has been converted into a museum. I am priviledged to be here in 1994. Thanks to Adrie, Abhijit. We travelled all the way from Zwijndrecht. Aniket Mandrekar
