Peter Stuyvesant, the fourth and most famous of the Dutch Governors-General was appointed in 1647. He lost a leg in the Dutch service at the Island of St. Martin. It was his lot to be obliged to surrender New Netherland to the English in 1664. The float represented a Dutch house with crow-step gables in New Amsterdam. Upon the porch, under the Dutch flag, stood Stuyvesant, surrounded by subordinates and soldiers, addressing the cheering citizens before him. In the foreground was a flag-staff bearing the arms of New Netherland and the flag of the Dutch West India Company.
