Description
English: The frigate De Vrijheit of Altona catching whales. The initials on the flag ("R I") stand for Roluf Jansen, the captain. Jansen was from the island of Föhr. Some of the 20 tiles have been restored, and the date at the top has erroneously been changed from 1725 to 1625. Tiles of this sort were popular on the low-lying Frisian Islands because of their resistance to the effects of flooding.
Dansk: Fregatten De Vrijheit af Altona på hvalfangst. Flagets initialer "R I" står for Roluf Jansen, der var skibets kaptajn. Jansen var fra øen Føhr. Nogle af de 20 fliser er blevet restaureret i tidens løb, og datoen foroven er fejlagtigt ændret fra 1725 til 1625. Fliserne var populære på de lavtliggende frisiske øer, da de var modstandsdygtige over for de oversvømmelser, der lejlighedsvist ramte øerne.
