HISTORY The Rechtboomssloot dates back to the first half of the 16th century. The canal is named after the 16th-century shipbuilder and mayor Cornelis Pietersz Boom. Boom, who himself lived on Rechtboomssloot (at numbers 1 to 3), widened two ditches around 1530, the Rechtboomssloot and Kromboomssloot, into canals to connect his shipyard in Lastage to the IJ. The Kromboomssloot became a cross-canal of the main Rechtboomssloot. As the names suggest, the Rechtboomssloot is straight while the Kromboomssloot has a bend.
