Correct Curtsey flags....for Sint Maarten and Saint Martin, and Jamaca.

So, I collect flags for my boat and later in life, the wall of my house. However, I'm confused about a few places. Any help is appreciated!
Marine Courtesy flag for Sint Maarten I can find 2 flags:
which is labeled as the Netherlands Antilles.


And this flag,


which is St Maarten.
Which is correct to fly from the mast?


Then next is Jamaica.
This is labeled as Jamaica Courtesy flag.
Or just fly the Jamaica flag?


3rd:
What do you fly for Saint Martin for France? Just the France Flag?
I'm making a wall collection of where I've been and just want to make sure I have the flags I have visited the countries of by boat.


Thanks for your help.

St Maarten (Dutch side) the second flag. the first one is for the Dutch Antilles, but St Maarten is part of the Antilles anymore.

St Martin (French side) the French tricolor.

In Jamaica the regular Jamaica flag is flown as a courtesy flag. Not the one pictured.

The Netherlands Antilles or Dutch Antilles were dissolved in 2010, so the 1st flag is no longer in use.

Agree. The one pictured above is the Jamaican Naval Ensign.

I think that you only curtsey when in the presence of royalty.

What about if you see a white ensign?
