The story goes that the famous Dutch, in Flushing born, admiral Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter (1607 - 1676) in his youth climbed into this tower. Only by 'performing' neck breaking stunts he could come back at ground level again. Therefore I put the title of this image ('Michiel's Tower') between inverted comma's as the official name of that tower is Saint-Jacobstower.

Legendes leiden een hardnekkig leven ,Cornelius.Maar dat behoort nu eenmaal tot de folklore.Ik vind dit een mooie foto.Vlissingen lijkt wel te barsten van historische gebouwen .Toch prachtig dat dit allemaal is bewaard gebleven.
