Call signs of Dutch warships with a name starting with an “R” 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.

GQSN=Reinier Claessen, screw steamship 3rd class
GQSR=Reteh, screw steamship 3rd class
GQSV=De Ruyter, steam battery
GQTB=De Rijn, sail frigate 1st class
