Location: Middelharnis, South Holland, Netherlands
Everything came by water.
Roots, memories of the past, the history of the island. From the port of Middelharnis, go a little west. Follow the filled-in harbor channel, at the end there is another harbor. That of Sommelsdijk. It is quiet, the peace is what you call serene. You can hardly imagine what things used to be like around the harbor. Activity everywhere: loading, unloading, weighing, trading, supplying, removing... The place that connected Sommelsdijk with 'the other side'. People met each other and shared stories around the ships with sugar beets, potatoes and other agricultural products. The news from far and near. If you were curious, like the Boomsmas, then you had to be on the quay.
