Vlissingen, which in English is know as Flushing, is a city in the southwestern
part of the Netherlands which, in the 17th century, was a main harbour for ships
of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). In its heyday ships from Flushing sailed
all seas and contributed to the world power of The
Seven Provinces (which later became the Dutch Republic).
