Jade Estuary (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Jade Estuary, (German: Jadebusen) is a bay on the North Sea coast of Germany. It was formerly known simply as Jade or Jahde. About 180 km (70 mi) in area, the Jade was largely created by storm floods during the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. During this period it was connected in the East to the river Weser. This connection was closed between 1721 and 1725 by dikes reconnecting Butjadingen to the mainland as a peninsula.
