The Belgian IBIS maritime institute has been a haven for children from problem families for many years.

The kids – between six and 16-  are offered a home and training there, and, hopefully, a chance at a better future than they might otherwise have had.

‘Angels of the Sea’ is on at the Maritime Museum in Amsterdam. Until April 5.
