Union JackLong Caption:British Union Flag (post 1801 pattern) belonging to HMS 'Minotaur' and believed to have been flown as a battle flag at Trafalgar. It belonged to Master's Mate Stephen Hilton (1787-1872). The flag is made of hand-sewn wool bunting. The diagonals of the saltire do not meet up in a straight line across the flag - a characteristic of early 19th century Union Flags. There are fabric losses at the fly end. The linen hoist is a machine-sewn replacement, probably added in the 1930s.Credit line:National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.Object: ZBA6946Date:Early 19th centuryMedium:wool; backed with net stitched in place, linen hoist and stripSize:Display: 2265 mm x 3110 mm
