The Batavian flag (contemporaneous Dutch: Bataafsche vlag; also called Nationale vlag, "National flag"[1]) is a Dutch historical flag. It was designed by Dirk Langendijk in January 1796,[2] and introduced in March 1796 as the official flag of the navy of the Batavian Republic, replacing the Statenvlag (itself originating from the Prince's Flag).
