Summary
[edit]DescriptionHandelskade, Punda.jpg |
English: Formerly known as ‘La Calle de la Marina’ (The Street of the Sea) and later ‘De Waterkant’ (The Seaside), this wharf is the birthplace of the economy on Curaçao.
Many residents who lived within the city walls, earned their daily living by loading and unloading ships. In addition, there were traders and shopkeepers who had established their offices, warehouses and/or shops here. The strip of land along De Waterkant was used for loading and unloading goods from the ships. When the warehouses were full, the goods were even piled up on the wharf. It is believed that the goods were brought in via De Waterkant and sold at the other side of the building, on the Heerenstraat. The name De Waterkant remained common until well into the nineteenth century. In 1883 Handelskade was mentioned for the first time in an official document.
