On Broadway, across from Wall Street is Marker 98, for Dutch Queen Juliana who visited New York City on April 7, 1952.
When we were walking there with our tour guide, Pieter and I just spotted this by accident... I ran back for capturing it.
APRIL 7, 1952 * JULIANA, QUEEN OF THE NETHERLANDS, AND PRINCE BERNHARD
Close to Trinity Church, that I posted before, and across from Wall Street is Marker 98.
To the right you see written: 98 April 7, 1952 * Juliana, Queen of The Netherlands, and Prince Bernhard
During their busy day in the city, the royal couple stopped at St. Martin's Episcopal Church at 122nd Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem, where they were greeted by a crowd estimated at 7,500.

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletewieder ein interessanter Post. Es ist auffallend,
wieviel holländische Tradition in den USA zu finden ist.
Einen schönen Resttag wünscht dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteAber selbstverständlich gibt es hier sehr viel Niederländische Tradition weil sie ja die allerersten Kolonialisten waren! Auch der Staat New Yorks hörte eigentlich unter der Neuen Niederlande von 1609 bis 1664. Sieh Film dieser kurzen 3 Minuten. https://youtu.be/cswtUtLVqSc
