Historical Badge

by David Prothero, 12 August 2002

The badge used on the Union Jack and Blue Ensign before 1910. The badge was based on a sketch, made in 1869, of the 1817 seal, which depicted a wet dock of the time.  It may have been introduced in 1869, or possibly not until 1875, when the badge was approved by the Admiralty.

Bermuda used circular seal in 1869 flag. In 1910 it was changed to use of the arms.
