Zuider Zee

Zuider Zee has not been at his best this year, but anything close to his dead-heat for fourth place with Times Up at Sandown in May should get him home comfortably this afternoon.

It is connected with Amsterdam by a steam tramway, passing by way of the small fortified towns of Naarden and Muiden on the Zuider Zee.

In 1170 a great flood caused immense devastation in the north and helped to form the Zuider Zee.

Many of these are decorated with inscriptions and bas-reliefs, some of which commemorate the battle on the Zuider Zee in 1573, in which the Beggars defeated the Spaniards under Count Bossu.

As a seaport its trade is now confined exclusively to the Zuider Zee.
