Burgee

The Dumpy Book of Ships and the Sea (1957) shows the burgee blue with a white saltire with a crown at its centre.
James Dignan, 12 February 2008

 I have seen the burgee illustrated in both dark blue and lighter blue. Additionally, I have seen it illustrated with the Scottish crown and St. Edward's crown. Thus far though, the only actual burgee photo images I have seen show burgees only with the St. Edward's crown. And, they are all dark blue. The variants are shown below.
