![]() This is the flag used by Henry Hudson in 1609 during his 3rd expedition to find a northwest passage to Asia. The Dutch East India flag consisted of the orange, white, and blue flag of the Netherlands with the letters A.O.C. (Algemeene Oost-Indise Compagnie) added to the central stripe. Between 1630 and 1660, the top stripe was changed to red the same as the Dutch flag. |
