The Wilhelminapier (one of the ports on the Kop van Zuid) is a narrow peninsula on the southern bank of the Maas at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge. Since the new millennium, modern skyscrapers have been rising here one after the other: the Wilhemian paper is a symbol of modern architecture in Rotterdam! The Montevideo (152 metres), the World Port Center (124 metres) and New Orleans (160 metres) are all close together here, comparable to Manhattan, New York. The Wilhelminakade used to be the place where the Holland America Line moored to sail to New York. The pier is therefore known as the figurehead of emigration.
