In the 18th and 19th centuries, its location along the banks of the IJ made the area an ideal base for the city&apos;s flourishing trade companies. Alas, toward the end of the 1800s, the center of the shipping industry shifted and spread, leaving the neighborhood a shell of its former glory. For a long time, this was one of the rougher parts of Amsterdam, full of little more than criminals and junkies. Urban renewal efforts have had their effects here as well, though, and now Scheepvaartbuurt is a perfectly pleasant area.
