    Off the blue coasts of Java, flying the princely banner.

    Learn some naval terms, my friend, you're Dutch after all!

    If I say I'm off the coasts of Java, I'm most probably at sea on a ship. When I'm flying something, it means I've raised a flag. And the princely banner is the banner of the Prince of Orange, and nowadays the national flag of the Netherlands.

    The most likely scenario is that I'm on a VOC ship near the coast of Java, the main island of Indonesia, in the Gouden Eeuw.

    It's inspired by an artwork by J. H. Isings, depicting a couple of East Indiamen off the coast of Java at the recently established Dutch trading post at Bantam, 1598 AD.

    Trouwens, het zoete spul? Toch geen breezers en dat soort troep hè? Als dat zo is heb je nog veel te leren jongeman

    Aw thanks

    But I must note that English is my other mother tongue. So, I'm bilingual

    Turns out I'm one-eight Dutch, from the Van Oslen family, although it has been anglicised from then. My ancestors founded towns in New York and New Brunswick.
