Can we drop the 't from the name? Betterkeks (talk) 00:22, 4 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

In Dutch, \'t is a determiner, like the word the in English. --ComradePenguinMonster (talk) 07:07, 30 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
But this is English Wikipedia. The Wapen van Hoorn (1619) – that is, per WP:THE if "the" should even be part of the name. I had to come here to see what 't meant. This, for convenience, should be explained in every Dutch-language article on the English Wikipedia. – wbm1058 (talk) 00:03, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
@ComradePenguinMonster:The ship is referred to as "Wapen van Hoorn" at the Dutch-language website huygens.knaw.nl.[1] Betterkeks (talk) 11:14, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
