While small trucks can make deliveries along the streets in Amsterdam, larger vessels are used to bring freight into areas of the city. These ships make it necessary for drawbridges. There are a variety of different types and again the Dutch engineers bring creativity to the projects. Amazing mechanical concepts allow the meeting of heavy trucks with big ships. In these pictures, a group of twelve of us, ply the canals in a small boat. We did not need to have the bridges open for us. We liked the smaller boat with an English speaking guide rather than the large tourist boats and having to wear earphones.
