So sad that the Dutch fishing industry had to be sacrificed for its part of being an EU member. With no coastline it did not stop the hard working, inventive Dutch people from being a global nation in the 1800’s and into the 20th century. Proud and independent. The UK and the Netherlands would have made fishing access work after Brexit, as it had done for a 100 yrs before. But the commission changes everything. Your video captures the best of Dutch shipbuilding (I skippers and owned 3 Dutch built beamers) and spent 30 years of refits in Dutch yards and loved the way the Dutch yards worked. It is so sad that that era of energy and skill is lost
