The spectacular construction of the Dutch Afsluitdijk in 1929 in color! (1932)
The "Afsluitdijk" is part of the Zuiderzee Works in The Netherlands and part of an elaborate plan in the early part of the 20th century to protect The Netherlands from the sea as well as to create new (farm) land. The dyke separates the Wadden sea from the former Zuiderzee for which its name was changed to "IJsselmeer". Its construction started in 1927 based on the plans that were developed by engineer Cornelis Lely. His first plan to enclose the Zuiderzee dates from as early as 1891!
