At this point the 8000 Geuzen with 400 ships are stranded and wait for high tide. Heavy storm and rainfall ensure that the Watergeuzen can continue their mission on October 2: on to Leiden! On October 3, 1574 Leiden is liberated from the Spanish by the Geuzen

In 1574, 400 ships with 8,000 Beggars were stranded here. To relieve Leiden, more water was needed, something like today...
