It was once the largest shipyard in the world, but in the 1980s the 'Nederlandse Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij' went bankrupt and the site on the north side of the IJ became vacant. Nowadays you imagine yourself here in Brooklyn or Berlin, because the messy yard with its rusty sheds and unruly concrete has become the ideal backdrop for a new generation of creative people and entrepreneurs.
Companies provide lifting the ship in dock and inspection, hull cleaning, painting and processing of underwater parts, as well as engine overhaul, equipment (including hydraulic) installation, cutting of metal, cleaning, painting, gas and electrical welding, as well as turning, milling and other works.
The Botterwerf is the oldest shipyard in the Netherlands that is still in operation. Spakenburg is the only place in the province of Utrecht that used to be on the sea, the Zuiderzee. Just like any other place on the former Zuiderzee, fishing was a major source of life. The fishing vessels have since been turned into a brown fleet. In Spakenburg, the shipyard is still making and repairing the old shipyard's botters for that fleet.
The history of the yard goes back to 1750. The yard consists of four slipways, a red wooden shed (1901), a bone shed (1840) and a forge (1904) on Oude Schans. The yard is a so-called sleigh yard, the ship is supported by a sleigh throughout its length. It is therefore extremely suitable for wooden ships. The wharf played an important role in the development of the Zuiderzee fishery.

Bunschoten-Spakenburg is a medieval town first named in 1294 and received it's city rights by the Bishop of Utrecht in 1383. Because of these rights the citizens were allowed to build an earthen wall around the town. The fortifications didn't last long however because a part of the town was destroyed in 1427 in a war between two rival Bishops and the wall was never rebuilt. It was originally a very important fishing villiage since it was part of a wide, open valley of the river Eem. Their main catch was paling, which is still a favorite of the Dutch today.
A century after Bunschoten was first mentioned, the settlement of Spakenburg developed. Originally the two towns were separated by a river inlet but much has happened in their history to change the lay of the land. Because of the location on the coast of what was then the Zuiderzee (a shallow bay on the Northsea), many floods inundated the area which caused the towns to become isolated.
So dikes were built to hold back the sea and stay the floods, this also caused new land to be created behind the dikes, this land (polder in Dutch) was often below sealevel and needed drainage and pumps to remain dry even if the dikes held, a big disadvantage of the dikes was that it limited access to the sea.
In the early 1900's the prosperous fishing harbor boasted over 200 ships but the closing of the "Zuiderzee" after the floods 1916 and further reclaiming of land after that period brought an end to that. No commercial fishing is now done from this area but heritage wooden vessels are still being built and repaired here.

Have you ever been to a location where you didn't have particularly high expectations, and when you saw it, your jaw just dropped ... and you were blown away! Well, for me this was a case like that. I can't recall another one lately.
The waterfall is literally in someone's backyard and passes under a bridge, in an area of Connecticut known as Middle Haddam. Although it seems unbelievable, there used to be a shipyard here! Also, the timing worked out, as I was able to capture some late autumn vibes. And I didn't trespass into someone's backyard - It's turns out there's a narrow path from the side that doesn't intrude.
Happy Wednesday all!
