Historical explanation:
The Damse Vaart is a canal between Bruges and Sluis that was dug on Napoleon's orders. This canal had to make the strategic connection to the Scheldt. At the end of his regime, the canal was only completed as far as Hoeke. The last part to Sluis was only finished in 1856. There was (local) shipping between Bruges and Sluis until 1940 when the Siphons near Oostkerke were blown up. Now the Oude Haven and the canal are used for recreational purposes (boats, pedalos, etc.).
