I've just spent way too much time looking at the historical maps that are made available here: http://zldgwb.zeeland.nl/gw411sl/?Viewer=Cultuur%20Historie. Our project, and this blog, is called Dynamic Deltas. After visits to the Deltas of Bangladesh and the Mekong in Vietnam I often wondered if the designations 'dynamic' at all applied to the Dutch Delta. Strolling through times and locations on this website makes me realize it most certainly does, or maybe i should say, until the Delta works came in to the picture, it did. Below the growing together of the islands Tholen and st. Philipsland.
