Visserseiland

Netherlands

The Visserseiland ("Fisherman's island") is a man-made peninsula in the harbor of the Dutch city Hoorn. It was constructed in the 17th century; formerly called Westereiland ("western island"), with the Oostereiland ("eastern island") across from the harbor, it created extra docking capacity and separated the Grashaven from the Zuiderzee.
