The Mole Seaport at Zeebrugge December 1918

The Mole at Zeebrugge is the Longest of its kind in the world

This deepwater seaport at Zeebrugge was built in the early part of the 20^th century and today is a heavily industrialised port.

The Mole was opened with some pomp by King Leopold of Belguim in 1903.

The massive construction is crescent-shaped and 1.5 miles in length, pointing in a north-easterly direction towards the North Sea.
