Delfzijl was a sluice between the [[Delf (canal)|Delf]] and the [[Ems (river)|Ems]], which became fortified settlement in the 16th century. The fortifications were removed in the late 19th century. Delfzijl is the fifth largest [[seaport]] in the Netherlands, and the largest port in the North East of the country.
