3. Bank van Banck

To the late mr.J.E. Banck:
You watched over our island with care
Many blessings you brought this country
That's why your bank has arisen there
As a sign of a grateful posterity.

When Lambert, son of merchant captain Jan Lammert Wiersma, was 15 years old, he moved to Amsterdam with his family. He reached his ranks at high speed and sailed until his marriage in 1909. Then he came ashore and eventually became director of the pilotage.
In 1969 he returned to the island.
