Arnemuiden is a city of around 5000 people in the municipality of Middelburg in the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands.
It is located on the former island of Walcheren, about 3 km east of the city of Middelburg.
On the 23 September 1338, at the start of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, a naval battle was held near Arnemuiden.
Even though only a couple of hundred people were left, it received city rights in 1574.
This explains the immense popularity of tattoos and fishing ship earrings in the village.
