Historical flag

Purmerend old Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.shipmate.nl/flags.htm

Flagdescription: Three equally wide horizontal stripes red - yellow - black.
This was an unofficial flag, already documented in Hesman's flagbook (1708), who has also the same flag with the CoA towards the hoist on the yellow stripe, with bits on the other stripes as well.
