The shivers in the table refer to the sheeves of blocks, and not the shivers referred to by John Wills in the article. We apologise The image below is the central atrium of the Scheepvaarthuis in Amsterdam, which is also well worth a visit. It is now an hotel, the Grand Hotel Amrâth, Amsterdam, which is not open for viewing, although the staff welcome casual visitors who want to look around.
