Gouwe River Boat Trip 1919 | 20231107

News : Ship rams bridge on the river Gouwe.
Once more a ship has rammed one of the three lifting bridges over the Gouwe canal (in the towns : Waddinxveen, Boskoop, and Alphen) — today in Waddinxveen … blocking road traffic … probably for months. This happens every few years escpecially after the opening of one of the largest inland shipping terminals on the Gouwe in Alphen aan den Rijn in the Netherlands. These bridges were built in the 1930s.

Boat Trip 1919
Here a 1919 silent documentary about the Gouwe river – before the bridges were build. Filmed from a boat moving along the Gouwe from Waddinxveen to Boskoop. A cameraman films life, on and alongside the river, with scenes of ships, houses, mills, gardens, and water. Occasionally the boat will pass by a woman doing the wash, or a man working on his boat. The trip leads to Boskoop, a village criss-crossed by ditches, streams, and countless small bridges.
