The shanty choir "Die Maeze Sanghers" was founded on March 30, 1987 by five retired sea pilots from around the Rijnmond-region. Over time more and more  (ex-) pilots and other (ex-) seafarers signed on.

"Die Maeze Sanghers” are therefore mostly men "with salt or brackish water in the veins”. But men of the fresh water and even "landlubbers" found their way to the choir and the choir now has 50 enthusiastic members.
