Red Ensign Flag Large Size

The Australian Red Ensign is the flag used by the Australian Merchant Navy, as distinct from the Australian National Flag used by the Commonwealth Government.

This Red Ensign Flag is the Historical Design used between 1900 and 1903.

Both flags resulted from the Commonwealth Government's 1901 Federal Flag design competition which required two entries: a flag for official Commonwealth Government use and another for the merchant navy.

The winning design for the merchant navy was based on the traditional British Red Ensign and featured the Southern Cross and Commonwealth Star.
