Cayman Islands Civil Ensign Flag

Flag for sale Cayman Islands Civil Ensign Flag

The Cayman Islands Flag, the official one, was adopted in 1959, after the Coat of Arms was adopted. There are two versions of the flag - the blue for use on land and the red for use at sea. These are based on the British blue and red ensigns. The land flag has a dark blue field (background), with the "Union Jack flag" in the corner. The national arms are shown in a roundel, which is a white circle in the centre of the field. The flag for use at sea has a red field, but everything else is identical.

In 1706, the British Union flag combined the English red cross of St. George with the Scottish white cross of St. Andrew. The Irish red cross of St. Patrick was added in 1801.
