A 20-minute Boat Trip on the Markenmeer
from Marken to Volendam, Noord-Holland



Friday 25 June 2010


  The Markenmeer is a part of the Zuiderzee.  It was a shallow bay of the North Sea in the northwest of the Netherlands, extending about 100 km (60 miles) inland and at most 50 km (30 miles) wide, with an overall depth of about 4 to 5 metres (13-16 feet) and a coastline of about 300 km (200 miles).
  The Zuiderzee Works (Dutch: Zuiderzeewerken) are a human-made system of dams, land reclamation and water drainage works, and the largest hydraulic engineering project undertaken by the Netherlands during the twentieth century.  The project involved the damming of the Zuiderzee, a large, shallow inlet of the North Sea, and the reclamation of land in the newly enclosed water body by means of polders.  Its main purposes were to improve flood protection and create additional land for agriculture.  Yes, I realized the famous saying, "God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands."  The American Society of Civil Engineers has declared the works to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World together with the Delta Works.  (Referred to the related sites of "Wikipedia")
