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 saw and the group of competitors come 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 that hair gives grow in number to 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
