PRUTmolen

An other windmill one can find in my town Nederhorst den Berg
(in the Netherlands, between Utrecht and Amsterdam)
Unfortunately there's not a lot of information about this type of windmill.
It is very old. (somewhere in the 1700's.)
This type is called a "prutmolen." (prut windmill)
It was used to squeeze out the last discarded parts of the fish oil
(levertraan and lijnolie).

Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!
Sjon

IN DUTCH
Er is helaas niet zoveel informatie bekend over De Prutmolen.
Deze molen zorgde voor het “uitheien” van olieprut.
(het bezinksel dat achterbleef in de oliebakken van de oliemolens).
Deze molen werd gebruikt om uit het zaksel (prut) van de olie en traan
de laatste restanten te halen.(levertraan en lijnolie)
Dank voor uw commentaar en ik wens U een creatieve dag toe.
Sjon.

Hi Sjon, Although I have never properly been in Holland [passed through on a troop train to Germany many times ] and I have always wanted to go there to walk along the canals and drink the beer. I like your work a lot.

Enjoyed your drawing and learning more about Holland. I felt that I was almost there. Hope to see more of Holland through your sketches.
