Informations supplémentaires

Commissioned in 1849, De Cruquius , along with two other similar stations, pumped the Haarlemmermeer dry in three years and three months. The reclamation of the Haarlemmermeer (Haarlem Lake) -- which now includes Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport -- by means of steam engines marked the breakthrough of the Industrial Revolution in the Netherlands. De Cruquius was decommissioned in 1932. The Dutch Royal Institute of Engineers adopted the pumping station as a museum, opened in 1936, saving it from demolition. The works employed the world's largest Cornish beam engine with a 12 feet diameter (3.66 metres) piston, supplied by Harvey & Co of Hayle, Cornwall, England.
