Veerse Meer

The Veerse Gat was a sea inlet in Zeeland, between Noord-Beveland and Walcheren. It was closed off in 1961 as part of the Delta Works by the Veerse Gatdam. This created the Veerse Meer. Until 1961, the Veerse Gat was the entrance to the (fishing) port of Veere. Since then, this port can only be reached via a lock in the Zandkreekdam and has lost its significance as a fishing port.Source: Wikipedia

In May 1960, Queen Juliana drove a jeep over the brand-new Zandkreek Dam between Zuid- and Noord-Beveland. The dam marked the beginning of the Veerse Meer. Its completion came with the closure of the Veerse Gat Dam between Kamperland and Vrouwenpolder in April 1961. The turbulent inland sea of Veersche Gat, Zuidvliet, and Zandkreek no longer existed; the Three Islands Plan was completed. This plan dates back to the time before the disaster in February 1953 and was incorporated into the Delta Plan.
Thanks to the two dams (and the Sloedam of 1871), a brackish water lake 22 kilometers long and 250 to 1,500 meters wide was created between the Oosterschelde and the North Sea. The opportunities for all kinds of water and shore recreation were immediately clear.
