White Ensign
A British naval ensign made of wool bunting and hand-sewn. The White ensign probably belonged to Admiral Sir George St Vincent Duckworth King (1809-1891). It is marked 'BARGE JN 6/65'. One of a set of six flags with inscriptions suggesting they were allocated to various ships' boats. If 6/65 represents the date June 1865, they would have been issued just after the abolition of the squadronal system by order of 9 July 1864. After this date the Royal Navy abandoned the use of red and blue ensigns and pennants and wore white ensigns, pennants, command flags and broad pennants exclusively.
