| Pictured is The Schreierstoren, also known as The Weeper`s Tower. It was originally part of the medieval city wall of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It was built in the 15th century. It was the location from which Henry Hudson set sail on his journey to Northern America. Schreierstoren is known mainly for the fact that women wept there for their husbands, who would leave from that port, to go to war, or to fish. It is currently a café and nautical bookstore. |
