Massive flag from a Spanish ship during the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805
Captain: .... get ready for battle ... hoist the flag!
Crew two hours later: ... ready captain!
(that is one huge freakin flag!)
Not even one of the biggest ships of the period, naval ensigns back then were just that massive!
That Wikipedia page has such a shitty drawing as a header image, lol
I wonder how they store it
The flag drawer
So the "only single socks because the dryer ate the other one" drawer
I can imagine what this would look like restored - thinking, golden golds, and royal burgundy reds, but does anyone have any idea what it actually look like?? Computer concept, please
Admiral Nelson’s final battle
How big was the ship?
Send it to one of those rug cleaning guys. Gonna take a while
