Here we see the Damiate Bridge also called Galgebrug at the time. The latter name refers to the view one had from that place of the gallows that stood across the river at Zwijndrecht. Criminals were hanged here as a deterrent. The later name Damiate refers to Mr de Roovere's early 17th-century lumberyard Damiate. This bridge was laid across the entrance to Wolwevershaven in 1639 and completely renewed in 1663.

Dordrecht was first mentioned in a text from the twelfth century, when the city was still referred to as Thuredrech, and received city rights in 1220. In the Middle Ages, the city developed into an important trading city and storage place and was one of the six major cities of Holland. Later on, the importance of the city declined, but the inner city still reminds us of this rich past: on the island of Dordrecht lies the city of Dordrecht. The island is surrounded by the following rivers: Lower Merwede, Nieuwe Merwede, Hollands Diep, Dordtsche Kil and Oude Maas. The island is divided in two by the Mistress. Across the island the A16 runs from the Moerdijk Bridge in the south to the Drechttunnel in the north.
