The Volandam Fisher Folk Of Holland Village
A nostalgic portrait of Volandam in Holland, home of two thousand residents and famed fisher folk. The article describes canal life, shuttered homes with red roofs, multi bed closet rooms, weekly fish trade with Amsterdam, Sunday eel and potato dinners, Catholic traditions, and unique Volandam costumes worn by women and children. It notes the reliance on fishing, gin, and communal care for bereaved families, and ends with the canal journey back to Edam and Amsterdam.
