We are all the way down to the last tall building and it's low tide.

The large crane is the last 'Electric tower crane' from the Shipyard and is 48 meters high. All the apartment buildings in the photo are on the former site of the shipyard (215 acres).


Zoomed is to show which pontoon we are on

Safe arrival drinks after leaving Antwerp. six and half hours, about 2 hours of that we were waiting for either a bridge to open or for a lock


This is a statue of the Quay Runners, they were tough, sturdy guys who loaded and unloaded the ships at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century.

Their names left to right: The Brown One, The Whimper, The Quaywalker and The Cross-eyed Wringer

In the stream of time. Symbolizes the next generation and the future.



This house used to be a two-family house, a warehouse and cement factory. In 1921 Frans Boel, converted it all into a single home
