Java Island(Amsterdam) Review
The eastern islands were used by Dutch boating companies until the mid 70s. They were artificially constructed between 1902 and 1930. Freight and passenger ships arriving in Amsterdam docked in the islands, and the buildings constructed on them were used as boating company warehouses. In 1977, the port's docks were moved to the western part of Amsterdam, and the eastern area became neglected. Between 1987 and 2003, 8000 new houses were built in Java, KNSM, the Sporenburg Peninsula and the Borneo Island, almost all homes. These buildings joined dozens of old port structures in preservation. The old buildings are mainly used as shopping centers and clubs.
