Abstract
This project explores T’ Zaagje, a former shipyard in Sliedrecht, as a vital yet underappreciated site within South Holland’s maritime industry heritage line connecting Dordrecht, Kinderdijk, and Gorinchem. Positioned at the intersection of tangible and intangible heritage, T’ Zaagje illustrates how local spaces can hold deep historical significance despite limited recognition. The study situates the site within its broader environmental and historical context, linking it to the researcher’s master’s focus on maritime heritage. By proposing a new function for the shipyard as a makerspace, the project revitalizes its historical role while introducing an educational component for local schools. Children can engage with the site’s history through hands-on activities, transforming the shipyard into a living, interactive heritage site.
