Here are some of the more ridiculous proposals to take land from the sea.
In 1849 there was this proposal in the Netherlands to completely drain out the ijsselmeer
There was this plan to extend Mannhattan Island in 1911
And in 1959, the Army Corps of Engineers made this map showing their predictions of what the San Francisco bay would look like by 2020.
So, what are some other ridiculous reclamation proposals? Please, tell me.
