Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.shipmate.nl/flags.htm
See also:Granted 21 Jan 1980. Het wapen bevat een geïdealiseerd (viking)
coggeschip en een lindeboom, symbool van onverwoestbaar recht. Vroeger
werd namelijk onder een groene linde recht gesprokendoor de vierschaar.
De linde is de enige inheemse boom met een onverwoestbaar regeneratievermogen.
Zo zijn water, schip en bomen symbolen geworden voor een nieuwe gemeente.
The arms contains an idealized (viking) coggeschip and a linden-tree,
symbol of indestructable law. In olden times law was spoken under a green
linden-tree by the "vierschaar" (court of four). The linden is the
only indigenous tree with an indestructable power to regenerate. So water,
ship, and trees have become symbols for a new municipality.
