In de huidige tijd is dit een druk knooppunt in Terherne. Een vernauwing in de grootste ader van het dorp. Dus kijk goed om je heen, blijf op de stoep, en pas op voor auto’s en fietsers. Hier aan de overkant staat het Schippershuis.
Het Schippershuis draagt haar naam sinds een aantal jaar weer met verve. ’t Schippershuis heet zo omdat deze plek in vroegere tijden een aanlegplaats voor schippers was. Het was een dranklokaaltje en een wachtlokaal van de beurtschippers. Dit punt in het dorp was een knooppunt, waar alle vaarroutes bij elkaar kwamen. Kijk maar eens om je heen. Vanuit Leeuwarden, Sneek, Heerenveen en Gorredijk.
Rond 1900 werd het ook een hotel. Dit was in de tijd dat de Rijpkema’s ook dit horecapand in eigendom hadden. Dina Rijpkema kon heerlijk koken. Het was ook de tijd dat de eerste toeristen naar Terherne kwamen. Het was redelijk exclusief en er werd dan ook gesproken van ‘uitzonderlijk en verwende watersporters’, die kwamen eten. In deze tijd heette het nog Café Rijpkema. Deze naam bleef tot de tweede wereldoorlog en het pand is steeds uitgebreid.We gaan verder en we gaan hier links de Stripe op.
In deze straat doe ik weer een beroep op je inlevingsvermogen en maak ik een sprong in de tijd met je.We zijn in 1886.
Je bevindt je namelijk in het nieuwe economische zwaartepunt van Terherne. We lopen door deze drukke winkelstraat tussen de schippers, diens vrouwen en handelaren door. De pandjes aan je rechterkant zijn bedrijven en winkels die bijdragen aan de scheepvaart. Hier vind je alle handel voor boeren en schippers: van mast- blok en pompmaker, tot fouragehandelaar.Tussen de winkels en de bedrijven zie je een paar rentenierswoningen, bijvoorbeeld op nummer 6 en 7. We lopen rustig verder naar het einde van de straat, naar de helling van Leemburg. Hier vind je het volgende paaltje.

Noordwolde the first village to be liberated by land
Noordwolde the first village to be liberated by land
In the evening of 11 April 1945, units of the Canadian Reconnaissance Regiment Royal Canadian Dragoons arrived at Dwingeloo, just before the so-called Frieslandriegel. This line of defence had been constructed shortly before by the work of many Dutch forced labourers. However, the line was hardly occupied and eventually turned out to be incorrectly constructed.
The Dragoons' task was to scout the road well ahead of the rest of the Canadian units. And they noted that the Germans in this area were barely able to defend themselves effectively. Partly for this reason, it was decided on 11 April that units of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and supporting units would make a jump to Leeuwarden in the following days. If the Frisian capital and possibly the rest of Friesland could be taken, the Germans would be trapped in the western part of the Netherlands. After all, large parts of Overijssel and Gelderland had also been liberated at this point.
The infantry had to advance through Zwolle, Meppel, Steenwijk, Heerenveen to Leeuwarden. To get them to Leeuwarden as soon as possible, all kinds of extra vehicles had been arranged. Meanwhile, the Royal Canadian Dragoons, and not much later another reconnaissance regiment, the Duke of York´s Royal Canadian Hussars, would enter Friesland to scout the planned main route there. And to create as much chaos as possible among the German defenders.Thanks to the citizens of Dieverbrug in Drenthe, an emergency bridge was built over the Drentse Hoofdvaart canal so that the Canadian vehicles could advance to Friesland. Then, on the morning of 12 April, the Dragoons were the first Canadian land unit to enter the province of Friesland. The village of Noordwolde was the first to be liberated.
Although this first Frisian village could be taken without a fight, there was brief fighting immediately north of Noordwolde. About twenty Germans and Dutch accomplices tried to delay the Canadians. After a short fight, the Germans fled the scene, leaving all their equipment behind. Others, including ten Dutch accomplices of the Landwacht and Ordnungspolizei, were captured.But the very first liberators to set foot on Frisian soil were French SAS paratroopers from the 3e Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes. Just over 700 of them were dropped over Drenthe and south-east Friesland on the night of 7 to 8 April. Their mission was to support the Allied ground operation. They did so by creating chaos behind German lines, capturing bridges, and carrying out all kinds of operations together with the resistance. They had to keep this up until the Canadian ground units reached them. A small proportion ended up at Appelscha and Haulerwijk and carried out their assignments there. In the performance of these assignments, 21-year-old Chasseur de 2e Classe (Private 2nd Class) Henri Pintaud was killed on 8 April.

The battle for the Tjonger bridge in Mildam
The battle for the Tjonger bridge in Mildam
In the afternoon of 12 April, rumours had reached Mildam that Englishmen or perhaps Canadians had been sighted at Peperga. The Canadian vanguards had entered Friesland. For the inhabitants of Mildam it was still a surprise when at first one and shortly afterwards another military vehicle with a few men in khaki-coloured overalls stopped at the bridge.
These vehicles were part of a patrol of "D" Squadron Royal Canadian Dragoons commanded by Lieutenant Homer Thomas. These Canadians established that unlike other bridges, the bridge in Mildam over the Tjonger had not yet been blown up by the occupying forces. The fact that the Tjonger bridge in Mildam had not been destroyed was due to the local resistance movement. The Germans had indeed planned to blow up this bridge as well. But at the risk of their own lives, resistance fighters had removed the detonators from the explosives affixed to the bridge.
The Squadron Commander immediately ordered all units to secure the bridge. And the Dutch Domestic Armed Forces were also requested to provide men. The precautions turned out to be justified. In the night of 12 to 13 April, German troops launched one of their few counter-attacks in the province of Friesland. From Heerenveen, they managed to surprise the Canadians in Mildam. They tried to regain control of the bridge three times. During the fierce fighting, Canadian vehicles were knocked out. But the Dragoons stood firm, and the Germans were driven off again. Mildam was freed.Four Canadian soldiers were injured in the fighting. The number of casualties on the German side is unknown. There was property damage in Mildam, but no civilians were killed. With a little less luck, though, there would have been several Dutch casualties. In the early morning of 13 April, a group of dozens of resistance fighters approached the bridge at dusk from the direction of Nieuweschoot. This was the reinforcement requested by the Canadians on 12 April when the undamaged bridge was discovered. The resistance fighters were partly carrying captured German weapons and were not noticed by the Dragoons in the semi-darkness until late.
Lieutenant Thomas, mentioned earlier, almost gave the order to open fire. It was only at the last moment that it became clear that they were not Germans. The resistance members had managed to make themselves known by singing songs in English.
The preservation of the bridge was important. During the following days, the Canadians would make extensive use of the bridge to advance further in the direction of Leeuwarden and liberate the province of Friesland.
