House flag, Nederlandsch-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij
The House flag of the Nederlandsch-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij, Rotterdam. A green, white and green triband, with the letters 'N A S M' in black on the central white stripe. The flag is made of a wool and synthetic fibre bunting. It has a cotton hoist and is machine sewn. The letters are printed. A rope and clip is attached. This design was in use from 1873 to 1971.
Founded in 1873 to operate a service between Rotterdam and New York (from 1882 to the end of the century, the passenger service also ran from Amsterdam). The company soon established itself as a carrier of emigrants from Europe to the United States. In 1902 the American International Mercantile Marine Company acquired a majority of company shares but in practice Holland America was allowed to go its own way and in 1916 the Dutch bought out IMMC.
