Bruges' Connection To The North Sea Made It A Prosperous Mercantile City And An Importat Hanseatic City. "Bruges Became Important Due To The Tidal Inlet That Was Important To Local Commerce. This Inlet Was Then Known As The "Golden Inlet". (...) Since About 1050, Gradual Silting Had Caused The City To Lose Its Direct Access To The Sea. A Storm In 1134, However, Re-Established This Access, Through The Creation Of A Natural Channel At The Zwin. The New Sea Arm Stretched All The Way To Damme,[14] A City That Became The Commercial Outpost For Bruges." (Wiki)
