Thonys Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) what we see is the states yacht of the chamber of Rotterdam (voc yacht) greeting a vessel returning from the east but the flag is a riddle it is green white green who knows what period it is ?

Angus MacDuff Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Could be the Tudor Livery colours. Or it's the Oostflakkee...which was a municipal flag Edited March 8, 2019 by Angus MacDuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Green and white were the colours of Rotterdam, but it´s flag had more stripes. And the full description reads The yacht of the Chamber of Rotterdam for the Dutch East India Company salutes an East-Indiaman and a Dutch man-of-war on the roadstead of Hellevoetsluis. The painting is dated 1790, but the ships and their rigging look like a bit older than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
