          There are now eight mills along the Zaan on the Zaanse Schans.
          Over the centuries there have been well over a thousand of them, most of them industrial mills, only a few were watermills.
          Together with shipyards, sailmakers, blacksmiths, blubber distilleries and rope beating factories, they made Zaanland the largest industrial location in Europe.
          The invention of the sawmill played an important role in this.
          This enabled Zaandam to develop into the center of European shipbuilding.
