New 3x5 Colonial British Red Ensign Flag Cromwell Flags
* Brand new Polyester 3' x 5' (36" x 60") Colonial Red Ensign flag!
In 1497 John Cabot flew the first English flag used in North America, St. Georges Cross. The Mayflower arrived in 1620, and a new flag was needed for the colonies. King James I took the cross and super-imposed it on the Scottish flag to create the Kings Colors in 1620. In 1707 Queen Ann adopted a new flag, placing the Kings Colors on a field of red to create the Colonial Red Ensign, also called the British Red Ensign or the Cromwell Flag.
