History of the Consular Flag
In 1777 a dark blue flag with 13 white stars, called the "Jack," was first flown on small naval vessels whenever an ambassador or minister of the diplomatic corps was on board. On April 27, 1903 a "C" was added to the center of the stars on the Jack and this new flag was authorized as the Consular Flag for the use of consular officers traveling by boat in the ports to which they were accredited. According to instructions, the flag was to be used by consular officers who had occasion to employ small boats for official purposes and was designed to indicate to vessels of war and port officials that a consular officer of the United States was on board.

In 1909 the United States Navy began to display the consular flag on a staff in the bow whenever a consular representative of the United States made an official ... [Read More]
