A century full of historical milestones. For instance, Niestern was the first to design and build world's first self-righting lifeboat. The yard also invented and patented the lowered double bottom construction for coastal vessels.
The 100th anniversary resulted in the award of the tide "Royal" (Koninklijke) to the name of the shipyard.
