The Museum Stoomgemaal Halfweg (Steam Pumping Station) is located in a place that was considered extremely risky until about a century and a half ago. Because here was a lake the size of a small inland sea, the Haarlemmermeer, separated only by a narrow dike - the Spaarndammerdijk - from the IJ, an arm of the Zuiderzee - later the IJsselmeer - which in turn had an open access to the North Sea. So the IJ had ebb and flow.
