Shipyard sid Posted July 21, 2014 #1 Posted July 21, 2014 Greetings all I have reached the final stage of building my HMS VICTORY and need to fit the flag set. Does any member have any idea were each of the four flags I have should be located. Thanks in advance. DAVID Quote
Blue Ensign Posted July 21, 2014 #2 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) The White Ensign is worn at the Gaff peak or Ensign Staff The Cross of St George, which is the flag of Vice Admiral of the White, is worn at the Fore masthead. The Union flag by special order of Nelson was worn at the Fore top mast stay at Trafalgar, but is usually worn at the jack staff when a ship is in port. The long pennant (which doesn't look long enough) is worn at the Main masthead. the one shown is the Common Pennant, but it is possible that the White Pennant was actually worn. It may be the angle of the photo but the proportions of the flag set don't look right to me, the white ensign should be by far the largest. Cheers, B.E.
