Flying Dutchman - Limited Edition 5 of 7 Print

Who hasn't heard of this ghostship? My father often took our family sailing on the IJsselmeer. It is an inland sea that was connected to the North Sea a century ago. A dyke was then built from one shore to the other connecting two northern provinces of the Netherlands. But even this dyke could not alter the elements that define this 'sea'. The Dutch refer to this inland sea as a 'meer', the Dutch word for 'lake'. But it is far from being a lake. Sailing on it turned out to be rather strenuous. My father kept a keen eye on both sails and horizon at the same time. All because the 'meer' is notorious for it's unpredictabillity. Many a fisherman has drowned in it. In a famous Dutch play you will hear a sentence that kind of sums up what living near this sea comes down to: "De vis wort duur betaald!" and it is best to translate it as: "The fish (on your plate) costs more than meets the eye".
