Saint Helena

The flag of Saint Helena is a navy blue British ensign defaced with the territory's badge in the fly.
==History==
The badge for St. Helena was derived from the Public Seal of the colony; the Royal Arms above an ornamental frame surrounding a picture of a three-masted ship near the base of steep cliffs. Its sails are furled and a flag flies at the stern. As originally drawn, when the badge was introduced in 1874, the flag was a White Ensign, but in later copies the canton was often left blank so that it appeared to be the English flag. It is often assumed that the ship is an East Indiaman, but this was obviously not intended. http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/sh.html
