Description
Made in USA. Outdoor Nylon printed flag.
This is the ensign of Columbus' ships in 1492, when he discovered the New World. It has the initials for Spanish King Fernando and Spanish Queen Ysabel, with a cross between the initials and crowns above them. We have this from Colombus' Journal describing his first landing: " . . . the admiral went ashore in the armed boat, and Martin Alonso Pinzon [captain of the Pinta] and Vicente Yanez, his brother, who was captain of the Nina. The admiral brought out the royal standard, and the captains went with two banners of the Green Cross, which the admiral flew on all the ships as a flag, with an F and a Y, and over each letter their crown, one being on one side of the cross and the other on the other."
