Royal Perth Yacht Club (Australia) (original) (raw)

Australian Yacht Clubs currently (2009 Navy List) Entitled to a Special Ensign.

Perth Yacht Club established 1865.
1882. P Y C in white on blue burgee.
19 May 1890. Granted title �royal�. The club website says that �at the same time it was announced that the Lords of the Admiralty had granted the Club the Royal Warrant to fly an undefaced Blue ensign.� This may have been a misunderstanding as on 13 March 1903 the Administrator at Government House wrote to the Admiralty requesting a Blue Ensign for the Royal Perth Yacht Club. A reply dated 24 March 1903 indicated that it was intended that a warrant would be issued, and that individual applicants for warrants should apply through the Club Secretary.

1891. At a General meeting it was decided to replace the existing burgee with a white burgee bearing a red St George�s cross with a crown in the upper canton.
