So, the largest flag on display, at the very rear, lowest, is The Civil Ensign, I believe.

"...The flag denoting non-military sailing ships is known as a *Civil Ensign*, also referred to as a Merchant Ensign or Merchant Flag, which is used by civilian vessels to indicate their nationality. This flag is typically the largest flag on board and is flown at the rear of the ship...." - AI

Thanks Col.

The Blue Peter = "All aboard, about to depart" while in harbour.

"... The *Blue Peter flag is the International Code of Signals “P” (Papa) flag, a blue nautical signal flag with a white center rectangle. When flown in harbor, it means “All persons should report on board as the vessel is about to proceed to sea.”*..." - AI.

The only flag I can recall on your print is the 'Plue Peter' second up rear mast Col

Flag and Pennant meanings 1850's Sailing Vessels.

Hi all,

The vessel I'm working to create a model of flew various flags and/or pennants at launch, according to the official launch artwork printed in The Times of London.

The attached images are, the full artwork as published, and an enhanced extract highlighting the flags/pennants in question.

I was hoping someone could point me to source document, or otherwise help decipher their meaning.

Thanks

Murray.
