Another body part was recently found on the beach of Texel. After a local beachcomber found trousers with bone remains inside last week, another resident of the island found a shoe with a foot still in it last weekend, NH Nieuws reported on Thursday.
For years, local beachcomber Maarten Brugge has collected items washed up on the beach in Texel, the largest of the five Dutch Wadden Islands that band the northern coast of the Netherlands. However, recently he has increasingly come across items that seem to belong to refugees. Over time, Brugge has accumulated a small collection of such items. "It's a bit weird," he told NL Times. While he currently stores these items at home, some will soon be showcased at the Shipwreck and Beachcombing Museum Flora in Texel for an upcoming exhibition.
