There are 3 harbours. Ships who have to go to Amsterdam will be getransport via one of the 4 sea-locks. It is necessary that the ships go through
the sea-locks because Amsterdam is 4½ meter below sea level. Ymuiden is 6 meter above sea level.
At Ymuiden We have different kind of heavy industries, like steelcompany Corus, a paperfactory, sandstonefactory, fish-trades and freezecompanies. There are 2 tunnels underneath the Northsea canal: the Velsertunnel an the Wijkertunnel. The Nortsea canal is build in 1876. Ymuiden is caused by that digging and building. Here are 4 beautiful historic mansions, which are build in the 17e en 18e century and arounded by magnificent parks. |
