caption_attribution_description: Nederlands: Foto genomen tijdens Delfsail, een vijfjaarlijks zeil-evenement (het grootste van Nederland) in het Groningse Delfzijl. Ik weet helaas niet hoe het schip heet dat je ziet op de voorgrond, maar de lamp die rechts bungelt is een stukje van de "Bounty", een piratenschip dat destijds is gebouwd voor de film "Mutiny on the Bounty" English: Picture taken during Delfsail, a 5-yearly sail event (the largest one of the Netherlands) in the town of Delfzijl, a town in the northeast of the province of Groningen. I don't know the name of the ship you see in the front, but the lamp on the right is a piece of "The Bounty", a pirate ship that was built for the movie "Mutiny on the Bounty".
context_page_description: Delfzijl is a city and municipality with a population of 25,651 in the province of Groningen in the northeast of the Netherlands. Delfzijl was a sluice between the Delf and the Ems, which became fortified settlement in the 16th century. The fortifications were removed in the late 19th century. Delfzijl is the fifth largest seaport in the Netherlands, and the largest port in the North East of the country.
context_section_description: Every five years the city organises DelfSail, the second-largest sailing event of the Netherlands after SAIL Amsterdam. Part of the sea harbor near the center of Delfzijl is open to public on Sundays and special events when the heavy machinery is not moving and the sea gates are not closed.
  Annually the "Pinksterfeesten" (Whitsunfestivities or Pentecost Festival) are organised in the city. Delfzijl is seeing a strong resurgence in the Dutch economy as the physical centerpoint of Energy Valley. This is the result of a strategic collaboration with the German town of Emden on the other side of the Eems Estuary, and North Sea natural gas that comes on shore near Delfzijl.
