Wednesday Oct 30, 2019 – Amsterdam Maritime Museum

Today we went to the Maritime Museum.  We went to a few of the exhibits as you’ll see from the photos.  The one exhibit where I didn’t take photos was actually the most impactful.  It was about climate change, melting ice, and rising sea levels.  There were photo graphs of places already experiencing the effects of rising seas.  The photos of Bangladesh, Indonesia, and islands in the Pacific are places you would expect to be impacted.  But there were also photos of accelerated beach and cliff erosion in the UK, the need for higher dikes here in the Netherlands, and beach erosion in Florida.  After that we skipped the rest of the exhibits and went out to take a few photos of the ships.
