A few high water level water markers at the south side of an ancient building (National monument) in Willemstad.
The high water levels were all caused by flooding of the nearby waterways Volkerak and Hollandsch Diep.
Both waterways are an estuary of the Rhine and Meuse river.
It includes a mark of 1953 ! The 1953 North Sea flood was a major flood caused by a heavy storm that occurred on the night of Saturday, 31 January 1953 and morning of Sunday, 1 February 1953. The floods struck the Netherlands, Belgium, England and Scotland.

A picture showing the level along with any markers telling of what had occurred can be used. Better yet would be a picture of you or someone standing next to the high level mark, that would show if you would have been just wading or completely submersed.
