In this interview with Jaap Hospers, a volunteer with the Mechanical Heritage Center in Dronten, we discover the mechanical tools that are used to make the polder in Flevoland. What does it mean to live in the polder? What are the things you can find in the ground where there used to be water? Where else than in the Flevoland polder is it possible to find an old metal boat in the ground of your backyard?
