==History== The island was detached from the mainland when the Haringvliet formed as a result of two major flooding events. The first was in 1216, which breached the dunes of [[Voorne-Putten|Voorne]] and created a deep saltwater inlet. In the [[St. Elizabeth flood]]s of 1421, this inlet connected to the [[Merwede]] and became an important estuary of the [[Rhine]] and [[Meuse (river)|Meuse]] rivers.
