The victims who died last weekend in the sinking of the 'KP 17' on the North Sea Canal in Amsterdam were on their way to another vessel. The skipper was using a punt owned by De Koperen Ploeg, a company that provides various services to skippers and port employees, to transport his passenger to a vessel on the canal. One of the two victims, a 30-year-old man from IJmuiden, was found on the afternoon of Oct 27. The body of the second victim, a 24-year-old man from Haarlem, was recovered from the water on Oct 28 at around 1:30 a.m. The wreckage has also been recovered.
