Collection of 21 books and pamphlets (plus 2 duplicates) and a large folding chromolithographed map, relating to the Noordzeekanaal (North Sea Canal),<br />

When the Noordhollandsch Kanaal (North Holland Cannal), built in 1824, wasn’t any longer able to handle the growing boat traffic from the North Sea to<br />
Amsterdam, it was decided to construct a new canal reaching the North Sea in IJmuiden, the Noordzeekanaal. This concession for this canal was given to the<br />
Amsterdamsche Kanaal-Maatschappij and it was constructed between 1865–1876. To raise capital for this project the company issued bonds.<br />
All in good condition, but some wrappers damaged. The bond and its conditions with some minor tears and folds. Full list of contents available on request.<br />
