Call signs of Dutch warships with a name starting with an “H” in 1867

The Dutch departments of Home Affairs and Navy published a list of the Dutch war- and merchant ships including the so-called Gouvernementsmarine which was active in the Dutch East Indies. The list I used was published by H. Nijgh at Rotterdam and was kept update until 1 October 1867.

GQKD=Haarlemmermeer, screw steamship 4th class
GQKH=Hector, steam flotilla vessel
GQKL=Heldin, sail transport
GQKP=Holland, sail frigate 2nd class
