Description of the flags

De Nederlandsche Stoomboot Reederij (Netherlands Steamboat Co) was the successor of the Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij, established in 1822. This was the first steamboat co in the Netherlands. In 1886, when the NSM company was in financial troubles, the NSR took over the ships and services between Rotterdam and Mannheim. The company had several house flags during their existence. In the 1920s the company was taken over by its German rival the Köln-Düsseldorfer Rhein Dampfschiffarts Ges. This ended in 1945. The company was renamed than the Nederlandsche Stoomboot Reederij Akkermans. Mr. Akkerkmans was a former manager of the NSR. In the mid-fifties the passenger services with the magnificent passenger vessels on the Rhine ended, beaten by strong competition of train and road traffic.
