Please enjoy some unique pictures of fortress island Pampus, 4 km out of the coast in front of Amsterdam , built in 1895.
The fort is on a man-made island situated on what was the Pampus shallows or sandbank in the then Zuiderzee. There is a well-known Dutch expression "laying for Pampus" used to describe people that are lying down knocked out. It stems from the time ships had to wait for high tide at Pampus before they could enter the harbour of Amsterdam.
