About
About Spaarndam, Spaarndam
Spaarndam has a ferry because it has no bridge and never has. The village grew up on the dam that gave it its name, and the 0.2 nautical mile crossing to Assendelft takes 6 minutes and runs around the clock — 72 sailings a week, the first at 00:10 and the last at 23:50.
A single daily calendar covers the whole week, with no weekday or weekend variation at all. That is rare: most of the crossings on this site publish at least two patterns, and several publish seven or more.
The village sits on the Spaarne where it meets the Noordzeekanaal system north of Haarlem, and is best known outside the Netherlands for the statue of the boy who supposedly plugged a leaking dyke with his finger — a story written by an American novelist who had never been there. The ferry carries foot passengers and bicycles without a fare.
