Although the British flag underwent a number of changes in the 17th century, the St. George's Cross continued as the official national flag. For seagoing ships, however, the official banner was the Union flag (better known as the Union Jack), which combined England St. George's Cross with Scotland's St. Andrew's Cross (a white saltire on blue). In 1707, the Union flag became Britain's national land flag.

Our 3' x 5' British Union historical flag includes vivid colors and an accurate design screen-printed on a durable 100% polyester material. The flag features a white fabric header with two brass grommets on the 3' side for easy display.
