United States Navy 48 Star Union Jack, circa 1912
About the Item
Antique United States Navy 48 Star Union Jack, circa 1912, a scarce early, World War I era US Navy Jack with 48 embroidered stars on a cobalt field, flown on the bow of Navy, Coast Guard and other U.S. government entity ships while moored or at anchor. The jack was adopted on 14 June 1777 at the same time as our national flag.
Curiously, and confusingly, this is similar to the "Sunday Morning" or "Homeward Bound" flag flown from the foremast of merchant ships in the 19th Century.
The flag remains in excellent condition, mounted in a custom bird's eye maple frame. Apologies for the photographs - this was impossible to shoot without reflections... don't mind those harpoons and spyglasses in the background!
