LOOK & ASK: Caissons (flood museum)
LOOK & ASK: Caissons (flood museum)
LOOK & ASK: Caissons (flood museum)
Sunday night, February 1, 1953. A very severe northwesterly storm is raging. It is spring tide, causing the water to be higher than during a normal flood. The water pounds against the dikes, which have become very weakened during the Second World War. Then the dikes break, and the water has free rein. Because the radio transmitters are off the air, the KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute) cannot issue a storm warning. No one is prepared, and the consequences are enormous. More than 1800 people drown, tens of thousands lose their homes, and a large part of the country is flooded.
To get rid of the water, the dikes must be repaired. Caissons, like the ones you see here, are also used for this purpose. This is a difficult operation. Just imagine trying to place four large boxes in such a way that they close the dike. But on November 6, 1953, the time has come. The last dike breach here in Ouwerkerk is closed.
Question 1: What are these caissons actually made of? Note down the first letter.

WATCH: The City of Jacob Cats
WATCH: The City of Jacob Cats
Noorddijkstraat 7WATCH: The City of Jacob Cats
You may have heard of the Catshuis. The house in The Hague where the prime minister lives. This is named after Jacob Cats who also lived there and was council pensionary of Holland around 1640. This is similar to the prime minister. But it all started here in Brouwershaven. You have already walked past the house where Jacob Cats was born on 10 November 1577. It is on the corner of Kerkstraat and Noorddijkstraat.
He became known for his lyrics in verse form. So famous, in fact, that people used to have two books in their homes anyway, the Bible and a book by Cats. His most famous work was the book “Marriage” with useful tips for a good marriage: the marriage age, parenting and even bedtime lessons. Later, he became a politician and lawyer and so came to live in The Hague. There he dies in 1660, leaving to his two daughters a sum of 2.3 million guilders!
By now, you have collected a number of letters. These form a surname that you can find back on the market. This is how you find the pearl of resilience. When you have found her, look further. The pearls are scattered all over Zeeland! Search and find them all!
