HNLMS Hydrograaf was a Royal Netherlands Navy survey vessel. Commissioned 4 May 1910, the ship served through both world wars. It was eventually gifted to the Sea Cadet Corps where it would serve as their Corps ship until sold to a private buyer in 1983. The ship was hireable as a party ship from 1985 onwards after receiving a restoration. From 1985 until 2022 the ship served as Sinterklaas's Pakjesboot 12.[1]
