Stora hamnkanlen at night time

When Gothenburg was founding it was important that the town would function well as a port. That is why Gustav II Adolf hired men from the Netherlands, who had great experience, to help the digging the cannels. Except from the moat the work resulted in Stora Hamnkanalen, a part of it is depicted on this photo. I should also add that the dutch gave Gothenburg the nickname New Amsterdam which was used for many years.
