This view of the Wilhelminapier [a peninsula between the river Meuse and the Rijnhaven] is shot from the Katendrecht Peninsula. The old building in front is the famous Hotel New York, the former headquarters of the Holland America Line. From the Wilhelminapier Dutch immigrants moved to the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. My father's first job was working as a steward on one of the HAL's ships, sailing across the globe. Now the Wilhelminapier is where I live.
