  Notes	In 1815 Harmen Jacob Langenberg (alo known as Hermanus Jacobs Langenberg) established a shipyard at Nieuwebrug near Heerenveen. He was succeeded by his son *Johannes Langenberg who was later joined by his two eldest sons Klaas and Hermanus. With no room for a third son at the yard *Johannes youngest son Jan would find employment in shipyards in Amsterdam, Sliedrecht and Utrecht. In 1919 Jan moved to Leeuwarden and worked in the shipyard of Molle van der Werf. In 1920 Jan Langenberg took over the company. From this period the Langenberg shipyards built wooden sailing yachts and high-speed motorboats. In 1925 Jan’s eldest son Johannes Langenberg began work in the yard. During the following thirty years the business did well with the new popularity of sport sailing and many sailing yachts were built at the yards. After 1945 no new vessels were built at the yards only maintenance still continued. Johannes’s father Jan died in 1955. In 1963 the waterway was closed and with that came the end of the shipyard of Johannes Langenberg. Source: Extract, translated from J.K. Kuipers 'De Jachtwerf J.
