Historical Context
The US Yacht Ensign Flag was authorized by Congress in 1848 to distinguish U.S. pleasure yachts from commercial vessels, promoting recreational boating. The fouled anchor (anchor entwined with rope) symbolizes naval tradition, while the 13 stars represent the original colonies. The wavy red-white border mimics ocean waves. Adopted to encourage American yachting, it flew on vessels like America’s Cup winners and remains the official flag for U.S. recreational boats.
