The Peat Cutters
In 1595, the Pagnevaartbos are already mentioned under the name Paedsievaart, Paesievaart and Pagievaert. All variations of the name Spagnevaart, because people believed that an old Spanish warship lay in the earth here. A few hundred years later, a serious attempt was made to find the remains of the ship and to extract peat at the same time. The workers doing this job were called the Peat Cutters ...
One of them was WilleM Hendriks, an elderly worker who was working in the Pagnevaart under very bad conditions. He was told by the foreman that good quality peat was all that mattered, but Willem knew better… Only one thing mattered: the search for valuable treasures and riches from the old Spanish Warship!
One thing was certain, if he were to find anything of value, he would do everything he could to keep it from falling into the hands of those slave drivers!
