N.V. Stoomboot-Maatschappij "Hilligersberg" should read "Hillegersberg". One of the companies operated by Vinke & Co./Vinke & Zonen; its vessels changed to the ownership of associate N.V Stoomboot Maatschappij "Oostzee" on the mid 1960s.

Hollandsche Lloyd

Koninklijke Hollandsche Lloyd, Amsterdam - red - white - red proportioned 1:4:1; on the central stripe the colored seal of the States General, with a yellow (or white?) crown in the red stripe; the seal is yellow with a red lion passant armed and tongued blue, holding a bundle of 7 blue arrows in its left paw, and a blue sword in its right paw. On Josef  Nüsse's site is a good image (too dificult for me).
