  I used to fly through Schiphol quite often when I was deepsea, joining and leaving ships in different parts of the world for my few months tour of duty.
  
  It was a long time before I discovered that the name means Ship Hole because the airport is built on part of a vast reclaimed lake which used to experience severe storms and was the scene of countless shipwrecks, many of which lie under the airport!
