Mijntje lies in the Almere Haven cemetery. By the sailboat (a Botter) on her grave, I assume she loved sailing (or even a sailor)

About the boat / Botter:
"The botter is an old Dutch type of fishing vessel with a flat to slightly V-shaped bottom, with a slightly protruding keel and angular bilges that merge into convex outward-facing sides, the bulwark of which falls inwards above the gunwale (invalling).
Botters fished mainly on the former Zuiderzee but were also used for coastal fishing on the North Sea. "
