The flag........


Okay this sounds random lol, But what flag was the ship flying. Mainly in the last shot, I thought it was the Bitish flag but I couldnt work it out....

In one shot, it is definately the Union Jack, but in others it looks like the chequered flag that they fly at car races. I would say that it is the Union Flag, because that is what the ship should be flying, anyway.




I'm anespeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...

It would appear to be the 1606 flag of Great Britain, which incorporated the St. George's Cross of England with the St. Andrew's Cross of Scotland, before the St. Patrick's Cross of Ireland was added to the Union Jack in 1801.
