Waar de naam enerzijds eer doet aan de diepgewortelde Nederlandse historie van Holland America Line, weerspiegelt het ook een nieuw tijdperk met een voor Holland America Line gedurfde naam. Het nieuwe, 99.500 ton metende, in design vooruitstrevende, Pinnacle Class schip kan 2.650 passagiers accommoderen en wordt gebouwd op de Italiaanse scheepswerf Fincantieri Marghera. Sinds 1883 eindigen alle namen van de passagiersschepen van Holland America Line op het woord ‘dam’ en met het nieuwe ms Koningsdam wordt deze traditie voortgezet. Met de toevoeging van het woord koning, verwijst de naam van het nieuwe schip naar Zijne Majesteit Koning Willem-Alexander, de eerste koning van Nederland sinds meer dan honderd jaar. Holland America Line heeft een lange en trotse historie met Nederland. Alle 15 premium cruiseschepen varen onder de Nederlandse vlag, naar meer dan 400 havens wereldwijd. De rederij deelt haar rijke verleden op jaarbasis met bijna één miljoen gasten. Bovendien telt de cruisemaatschappij veel Nederlandse werknemers, waaronder het merendeel van de kapiteins en officieren. Veel van de schepen van Holland America Line zijn gedoopt door leden van de Koninklijke familie de afgelopen 75 jaar. Het meest recente schip, ms Nieuw Amsterdam is in 2010 gedoopt door toenmalig Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Maxima der Nederlanden.

Ricketts and Calvin (1952) noted its occurrence in Coos Bay, Oregon in 1950. Rhithropanopeus harrisii, a common resident of Texas estuaries, has recently expanded its range to freshwater reservoirs in that state (Howells 2001; […]). They have been found in the E.V. Spence, Colorado City, Tradinghouse Creek, Possum Kingdom, and Lake Balmorhea reservoirs. These occurrences are the first records of this species in freshwater inland lakes.” From Fofonoff et al. (2018): “[…] R. harrisii has invaded many estuaries in different parts of the world, and has even colonized some freshwater reservoirs in Texas and Oklahoma, where high mineral content of the water may promote survival and permit reproduction (Keith 2006; Boyle 2010).” This species is in trade in the United States.

  • Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering

    Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering

    NEWS Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering The Dutch Zuiderzee Act came into force exactly 100 years ago today, on 14 June 1918. The Zuiderzee Act signalled the beginning of the works that continue to protect the heart of The Netherlands from the dangers and vagaries of the Zuiderzee, an inlet of the North Sea, to this day. This amazing feat of engineering and spatial planning was a key milestone in The Netherlands’ world-leading reputation for reclaiming land from the sea. Wim van Wegen, content manager at ‘GIM International’, was born, raised and still lives in the Noordoostpolder, one of the various polders that were constructed. He has written an article about the uniqueness of this area of reclaimed land. I was born at the bottom of the sea. Want to fact-check this? Just compare a pre-1940s map of the Netherlands to a more contemporary one. The old map shows an inlet of the North Sea, the Zuiderzee. The new one reveals large parts of the Zuiderzee having been turned into land, actually no longer part of the North Sea. In 1932, a 32km-long dam (the Afsluitdijk) was completed, separating the former Zuiderzee and the North Sea. This part of the sea was turned into a lake, the IJsselmeer (also known as Lake IJssel or Lake Yssel in English). Why 'polder' is a Dutch word The idea behind the construction of the Afsluitdijk was to defend areas against flooding, caused by the force of the open sea. The dam is part of the Zuiderzee Works, a man-made system of dams and dikes, land reclamation and water drainage works.
