Maritime Flag – White Ensign (printed) Today’s white ensign, as used by Royal Navy ships, incorporates the St George’s Cross (St George’s Ensign). British yachts owned by members of the Royal Yacht Squadron are authorised to apply for a permit to wear this ensign. Defaced white ensigns include that of the British Antarctic Territory. Since the reorganisation of the Royal Navy in 1864, use of the White Ensign (a red St George’s Cross on a white field with the Union Flag in the canton) has been restricted to ships, boats, submarines and on-shore establishments of the Royal Navy. The Royal Yacht Squadron also fly the white ensign by special dispensation. Please select your preferred size/option from the options and press Add to Basket to complete your order.
