Full title: Flags at Sea: A guide to the flags flown at
sea by British and some foreign ships, from the 16th century to

Maritime Museum
Fair number of photographs, drawings and illustrations, some in
colour. Sections on British, U.S., Spanish, Dutch and French
maritime flags as well as a little on signalling and the making of
flags. Plus an extensive bibliography of 198 titles. David Prothero, 5 May 1997
I can’t imagine anyone with a serious interest in the
history of flags who would not want to buy it. Among the unexpected
goodies is the best bibliography of early flag books and charts
I’ve seen and a great glossary of flag terms. Norm Martin, 05 Jul 1999
I really like this book. There are a couple of superb flag
charts in there as well — one being the Napoleonic chart,
if I recall correctly. David Cohen, 06 Jul 1999
The only difference between 1986 and a 1999 “edition”
([wil99] or [wil99a]),
is the cover picture, the transfer of black and white diagrams
on the first and last fly pages to un-numbered pages in the text,
and an un-numbered page of Classified Bibliography Addenda.
There is no reference in the 1999 edition to any earlier editions
other than the original 1986 edition. It seems likely that the
FI Reading
List has a typo with 1989 instead of 1999 (or 1986). David Prothero, 22 Jan 2005

The text deals with the flags of Great Britian (in
depth) and the United States, the Netherlands, Spain
and France. Excellent information regarding the evolution
of the British ensigns used at sea. Includes color and
black and white reproductions of flag charts and notebooks
dating from 1685. Extensive bibliographies and glossary. Phil Nelson, Nov 1999
This is a revised edition of a popular history, first
published in 1986, of the flags flown at sea during the
Age of Sail. Beautifully illustrated with more than one
hundred thirty photographs — seventy-four in color
— it features the flags flown by the principal naval
powers — Great Britain, France, the Netherlands,
Spain, and the United States. The clear narrative unravels
myths and misunderstandings about where, when, and why
certain flags — like the piratical “Jolly
Roger” — were flown. It also tackles such
complicated issues as signaling in peace and war.
Contemporary flag charts and specially
commissioned drawings provide the degree of detail
necessary for modelmakers, artists, and historians. The
remarkable amount of information presented on the
all-important functions of identification and signaling at
sea makes an important contribution to the literature.
