De kleine Vismarkt te Amsterdam

This fish market on the Singel, level with the Haarlemmersluis, dates from 1662. By then, the large fish market on the north side of the Dam had become too small to serve the growing population. Behind the sheds we can see the IJ, bordered by a forest of masts. Sailing ships only received serious competition from the steam engine after 1870
