Napoleon and the secret of the dam | Erik Verheul | TEDxDenHelder


so for the afternoon

we speak

before the coffee break

must be doing

beautiful stories today I also have a special story for you today

that is starting very normal, I’m starting now

at this my nose walks

at the naval base where I work

m yes the contours count then in the afternoons just stretch the legs with a lot

colleagues logistic along debate

and the debate

is always beautiful at least, but I need you here in the clear of course

not to tell

So a photo of a seal that council members took months in waiting

the dike is doing well with him

sometimes you see this kind of air and shoot us in the clouds

the light is also beautiful the mayor said all this beautiful sunrise this morning

earlier in the first inning was also a bit stupid

sometimes there is nothing at all

otherwise a soul sometimes happens and then

sometimes not in time of high water, then completely disappeared under water

and going tide plug slowly for seconds over the

golfer out

and I asked a colleague who is also what that is for then

the hamster weeks that is the napoleon then

walked in

it can not be so old from the time of Napoleon

and what then is the story 18 than what he is walking there would be a bit of it and the

he ends up going nowhere what does that thing

nobody I know who will tell the bowl more about it than that one

attempt to tammes

internet cooler that was actually very little to find

the day or two before I found out that it was built 10 17

and that’s strange

for the French time that began only in seven 95

the poles to itself that has not been the 800 and 3 here in the previous week

nevertheless a kinepolis group

82

that was the time

willem de 50 keep our last city

he was laid in that time and that is so

the man who called him

but it is he who has the company that our fellow countryman has

the Netherlands must leave he has fled to England

yes and the way in which the two gentlemen allowed themselves to be portrayed says it

already a little bit the good-natured man there sometimes that is of course wanting

prove

m after polen looks always nice intimidating on the paintings

napoleon of

the construction of the dam

is also a special one

you see it here you see a card of breda because it is turned a quarter turn

that in those days a left one sees the north with the Wadden Islands and the

on the right you can still see Amsterdam

and this card shows all plans today the Netherlands is a trading country

it has always been there now

and also in those days all those big ships that came

from the ocean

at the marsdiep and then they went

try to stand up to the Wadden Sea

but the Wadden Sea assaded

Southern Zealand and it became increasingly difficult for both ships

trade cities

because all trade had to be done recently

enkhuizen medemblik

Amsterdam

all through the marsdiep

Well you can see here a little that it is

all those schools that is difficult to reach

Now we did have a statement with you

schings can mail invented

has since heard a fart of camels 7

I do not see any hands with camels that were big tanks

for the water that were secured on both sides of the ship

both were pumped empty and that is the ship’s extra buoyancy we could

they’re just over that sandbar

the pampers are coming

for both well that jojoy one also did the threshold

that worked

it is not a structural solution

what was actually needed

a half-truths chair could skip those big ships

the shallow the ships

coming up the southern sea

but that was the problem

the reason for the kessel happened and that was sent at a rapid pace

he no longer offered protection

something had to happen

Well, there was a man who had found something on it and that was lauwers brand

our hero tonight

he has a

a very bulky book has written with the plan

to build a new port

at the bright

he called his plan skil and finished

that are two sea monsters from Greek mythology

because of the spread in that time of scylla intervention is hit and the idea

behind it is a bit like trying to get around one problem

Then you will soon find another one

problem

he found that very applicable to the situation on the Wadden Sea because if there

one trying to avoid a sandbank

in power to change a new one that was continuously changing

he did not go ice overnight

it has not taken more than ten years to write the plants

and

solution the problem that that had to solve was that silting up

that port that do not substantiate

just as simple as it is brilliant

he proposed to build and then

from dam

if it was running full of water

and then appropriate tide was from didam to guide the water to it

new deep

and that will continue on hoping that that traces we just go away the tide

nice plan

worked on it for ten years

and yet that was not enough to get that porter good diplomacy

also

at least as important

because well

in that time

may a lot of power both cities both cities that is the money

Corrie stadholders have the whole country but without money you do not start

that much

so the cities had to stand behind

and horn medemblik enkhuizen

but those who saw and the group of competitors except for the clear

so that’s a bit against

Amsterdam was ahead because I had a problem with the supply

so with latch another mobile in good diplomacy

is that plan came laurant

still implemented in seventeen 81

here is a card

what that looks like

on the right you have that dam you can imagine the going tide always

batenburg new dip

It is being pushed that hateful

being rinsed clean

but put the most important ones on the map

something you do not see

that is clear

The bright little is that very little doctor on top of it

that was clear then

yes thanks to that then go missing

thanks to her, she can grow into the city that it is now

so without it lying down from lauwersoog

you can imagine what a heroic man had been

not so much

because there was no reason to continue to grow

yes thanks to that you are not that one man

it has become clear what it is now

has the whole trade

to be able to continue with that country as if there was never a problem

Well that’s nice

as far as I’m concerned, the man earned the summer monument

and that’s good

because I am a sculptor

this is monument I made for it

two-fold fire

and that support is sponsored tracks

in cities

standard is made the royal navy who has benefited as much

with the new a5 that

that’s all standard they wanted to sponsor

and that I myself have made it and steven gerrard

he is a monument of the country

then we still have

a building fund monument, but a band that flees Napoleon

that has not yet been found to be solved

that the actual never actually got a real name

the son of dam has been fighting the national highways a4 for many years

around 19 50

the bomb popularly claim name napoleon than in vogue probably

because people did not know but who then comes from as held then

and that has been taken over in Rijkswaterstaat documents

Now there is even nautical maps of every free service so it becomes

getting crazier

well that’s why

wilders is by the association

that I say I put the heads together

we went to the coffee at the municipality and asked municipalities

do not come up with a decent name

that has succeeded

so today we do not just want to reveal the monument we also want the

new name

for the band so I wanted to ask for one

apply for both aldermen

that is possible in an overdose by the association the news comes one of them

alderman prize questions

around the monument

for which thanks that hour well

listened to us and took the trouble

among others

what in london

ladies and gentlemen

laura van der kamp

I

booking ashley

they smoke

by

we do contribute that theme says kelly

in the clear

in the distance beauty forefront when entering critical forza and there

I think you’re that guy here

my master says that his welcome

in madrid closed

the leaders a one pain does not sing her family I can it unfortunately azzurri party

for even though I sing antiquity

because recently set to

Normally the system is but I am not always eneco essential

dollar

when seen again

you have to get used to the idea of ​​a new name for the then

napoleon dam

like all of us, of course, because that thing has been there for so long, then

no name

the new name has to go a bit further

and this monument is now going to help

the royal navy has offered to

to place on at the dam that can only be over the water

and thus will be 20 to 30

primary school students

they all receive material that they can hold a speech

so if they are going to do that then a whole generation is already growing up with this idea

from didam

was not from Napoleon

I myself have taken firm liberty to create a wikipedia page

of the lauwers fire is then

he has yet to grow a little bit I hope that he is everything to date with

help a little away

but there is something more beautiful there is something like

ted it

and I stand for the kesel

that is a website you can

a video on the pabo the animated film

with a curriculum

and that makes it a very nice way a very accessible way

everyone schools or anyone

how the story of louwes brand lies

announced

Well that seemed like our nice idea with all the little animation of courting

can only be making animated film is a precious one

matter

that I did use some help with it

So people who want to support that started in conversation last year

in that experience space there are a few

now there is nothing with it

the field is good to hear them association why

to talk to you

and hope that that will also deliver something anyway

one for me this was the story for me it was very moi fun in the second

round

the history of the Netherlands to discover the size and importance of the customer

and I had enjoyed the story here

also of attention
