Willem Albert Bachiene understood the immense difficulty implicit in fusing the reclamation of land for settlement and agriculture with the need to facilitate ocean trade: here he depicts the complexity of harbor openings. Harvard College Library.

Inland from the sea but still in tidal waters, vessels are docked at wharves built at the intersection of bridges, raised roads, and the dams which gave their name to so many Netherlands towns. Harvard College Library.

Dikes and canals combined to produce and defend reclaimed land, but also to provide access, especially to animals grazing near slightly elevated villages, themselves protected by wind-driven pumps. Harvard College Library.
