The same auction system for flowers also operates in Australia too and has for decades. Kudos for your work and time. It's appreciated by all of us here! Know that! Seeing as you're Dutch, you may know of a Dutch film from the early 1930s I've been chasing for years. I think It's called 'The Ghost Train'. It's based on a British film of the same name. So far I can only find fragments of it. Once again, Kudos to you Rick for your time and dedication in preserving early cinema.

This amazing film makes me think that all of the “ Santa’s workshop” myths and films were based on an ever so MORE fascinating Dutch culture! Thankyou 😮❤
Very good video. At 9:30 to 10:30 boatman appear to be digging up mud and loading it into what appear boats specially made for the purpose. What is that about?
It might be an early form of dredging? Considering the importance of water transport it would not surprise me that they are making sure the water is deep enough for travel/transport by boat. Greetings from the Netherlands (And no I am not sure this is the right answer!)
Bijzonder. Vrachtwagens, vliegtuigen, internationale handel, huizen en fabriekenshallen die nu niet uit de toon zouden vallen. 100 jaar oud, maar helemaal herkenbaar.
For more than 20 years I aam working on my familytree from Amsterdam and some places nearby like Aalsmeer and it's crazy to think that maybe I see relatives in there and not know that they are...
I wasn't sure if this would be my cup of tea to watch but it was really interesting! Even in the 1930s the processes look quite sophisticated and slick, especially on the auction house. I wonder how much has changed from then compared to today. What was the dredging for at 10:00? Are they spreading the silt back onto allotments and farms? Never seen that before. Great music accompanying the film, as always.
Its essential fertiliser / mulch its incredibly high in nutrients. Now obviously you use chemicals which cause run off and then marine problems etc etc
Thank you Rick. I was born in Aalsmeer and used to live there until my twenties. In some parts regularly dredging is necessary to keep the land above the water table. The peatlands erode and settle in easily. The gardeners dredge the silt called 'meermolm' in the surrounding lakes and transport it to their plots of land. They mainly grow there shrubs such as lilacs. And ofcourse the silt is very fertile.
I wonder why bicycle seats were made with good springs but hard leather and not some kind of comfort like sponge or something else like today I know they had the idea because they comfy chers
ّIn The Name Of GOD GOD I am BEGGING YOU to BLESS THE NETHERLANDS. GOD I am BEGGING YOU to BLESS THE DUTCH PEOPLE. GOD from the deep of my HEART I raise YOU my deep THANKING that YOU put me between my BROTHERS THE DUTCH PEOPLE.. THANK YOU GOD. GOD let me give MY LOVE TO THE DUTCH PEOPLE. GOD LET THE DUTCH PEOPLE GIVE ME THEIR LOVE. AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.

Fantastisch gedaan weer. Wat zou je toch graag even terug in de tijd willen om het allemaal eens te zien (niet dat het toen beter was overigens).
Gewoon eens even de sfeer proeven. Waarom niet.
Ik zeg altijd dat toeval niet bestaat. Gisteren was ik sinds lange tijd even in Aalsmeer. Bedankt voor weer een mooie terugblik!

Interesting question, dredged material was sometimes used as soil improver ..

アジサイの花が鉢植えで揃えられてこれは市場に出すのかな？綿を出荷するのか。
