GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): History: This feature, located between the Bligh Bank and Thornton Bank in the southern North Sea, is charted as "Lodewijkbank" on a Fishery Map of Blankenberge "Zeekaart der Visscherij van Blankenberghe" (Belgium), edited between 1889 en 1900, by G. Carl |
|
Additional information (en): Lodewijk is, in Dutch or Flamish, the christian name of a person. A team of specialists at the "VLIZ" (Flanders Marine Institute) has in 2010 looked for a possible explanation; they proposed different possibilties of persons with the name 'Lodewijk', as follows (but couldn't identify the source with certainty): 1. The patron saint of the fishers : Lodewijk IX, the holy; 2. Lodewijk de Nevers, count of Flanders (he granted in 1334 the people of Blankenberge a territory for building a cemetery); 3. Lodewijk Napoleon: the younger brother of Napoleon Bonaparte I. Lodewijk Bonaparte was assigned as monarch of the kingdom of Holland. He obtained a lot of sympathy by the Dutch people; 4. Lodewijk Pincoffs: he was an important person for the port of Rotterdam and involved in the establishment of the line Holland-America. His company owned a big ship that was called to him "Lodewijk". |
