The Schiedam mills in the city centre also owe their existence to the jenever past: the grain was ground here for the burners. Unique for the Netherlands is that the mills are all within walking distance. Anyone wishing to experience mill life can visit De Walvisch. Every week the miller shows how the mill turns and grinds in the grain loft. You have a magnificent view of the other mills in Schiedam from the wooden balcony circling the mill.
The port of Schiedam forms part of the Port of Rotterdam. The river Schie, which flows into the Maas, winds its way straight through the city. In the ports Lange Haven and Florynhaven are special jetties for sailing enthusiasts. It’s also possible to take a trip over the canals of Schiedam in an electric boat.

The Camel served as a malt mill until the early morning of March 20, 1865. On that day, a gust of wind blew the blades and the upper shaft of the mill. Whether this was due to the combination of a heavy load on the structure and a heavy gust of wind or was done deliberately to collect insurance money by the then new owner has long been a point of discussion in the Schiedam mill community in the 19th century. Afterwards, the mill served as a steam sawmill for several years after partial repairs.
The remains ofthe Camel [De Kameel] were demolished in 1868, after a fire in the mill stump.
Of all the mills that the city has had and of which reconstruction was feasible, De Camelwas the most visible from the city center. The city, which profiles itself as a mill town, wanted a clearly visible mill in the center.
Reconstruction on the original site was not feasible, because the turning basin in the Schie was moved in 1960 for the construction of a new access road with bridge to the center.
