The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Zeilvereniging "Het IJ", Amsterdam - red burgee with a white diamond
charged with a blue "Y".
Homepage: founded
3 Apr 1885. Its first harbour was on the site of the present Central Station
of Amsterdam. Later on it chose another location near the Shell refinery
at the opposite side of the IJ. As usual in Amsterdam they had to relinquish
that as well and ended up in the pretty village of Durgerdam (and when
you're there you know that's the end of the road) - however they soon found
out that they had struck gold, and extended their activities in Marken
and Enkhuizen. Still armed with the same burgee.
The official spelling is "Het IJ" - the Y may be in use to symbolize
the fork when one leaves the port of Amsterdam, to the left towards the
IJsselmeer, to the right towards the Amsterdam-Rijn kanaal..
