This Google Earth map shows the spot where we have been moored close to Nederhorst den Berg – still on its territory. Our position is indicated by a yellow pin at the top right.

The same one, now closer. © Vranz A. VanMaaren Photography. In fact it is what is called a ‘widebeam’, meaning wider than a narrowboat – the latter being built 6’10’’ wide (2,0828 meters) nowadays, formerly 7’ (2,1336 meters). The locks narrowed in the course of time, caused by (ground)pressure from outside against its walls.
