Flag of Scheveningen : ウィキペディア英語版 | Flag of Scheveningen
The flag of Scheveningen is in azure with three right swimming〔Heraldic right, ie viewed from the position of the person who holds the coat of arms, the viewer is left〕 herrings of silver, each herring with a three-leaved yellow crown, floating above the head.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Letter of Mr. E.J. Wolleswinkel, secretary of Hoge Raad van Adel (High council of the nobility of the Netherlands) reported on the website www.scheveningen-centrum.nl )〕 The origin of the coat of arms is a matter of debate because Scheveningen is not, and never has been, an authonomous municipality. Since the village was founded in 1284, Scheveningen has always been a part of the municipality of The Hague. == History ==
The first trace of the coat of arms containing the crowned herrings dates back to the seventeenth century as the coat of arms of the local noble family De Huybert. Nowadays, the family name died out as there are no descendents left.〔 The first document reporting the coat of arms as the coat of arms of Scheveningen goes back to 1847. On page 165, volume X of the ''Geographic Dictionary of the Netherlands'' written by Abraham Jacob van der Aa, it can be read ''Het oude wapen van SCHEVENINGEN was drie gekroonde harinen, waarvan het veld niet wordt opgegeven. (The ancien coat of arms of SCHEVENINGEN consisted of three crowned herrings where the field () is not specified)''. In 1984, in occasion of the celebrations of the seven hundredth anniversary of the founding of Scheveningen, the Royal Netherlands Navy assigned the name ''Hr. Ms. Scheveningen'' to the minehunter numbered M855.〔On 5 September 2007, the ship was sold to the Latvian Navy and the name changed to Viesturs (M-05).〕 A coat of arms with two crossed harrings and the stork of The Hague was assigned to the ship. In response to some letters of protest sent to the newspapers, a petition and a parliamentary question, the Minister of Defence J. Rider,〔Ministry of Defence Decision number D 84/236/41010 dated 24 April 1984〕 was forced to change the coat of arms of the Hr. Ms. Scheveningen with the one with the crowned herrings. This story shows us how strong the feeling about the coat of arms is amongst the Scheveningen people, that this is their coat of arms and is part of their tradition.〔
