Abstract

In het 17th century there was a long spit growing from the coast of Holland, due to lower river discharge of the Meuse to the sea. On this sandbank De Beer (means bar) a small fishing boat ran ashore around 1700. For a century the mast became a beacon for walkers and also a fixed point on maps. This landscape element is found on old maps and in descriptions from the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. This information gives us an impression of het former landscape and the growth of De Beer on the sea- and riverside.
