    Sounds like someone forgot to stamp their foot on the bridge, and say."

    The old PS Waverley doesn't like this Welsh skipper as he flies the Welsh flag when he is aboard her.

    Local man Cpt - Stephen, I imagine will not
    believe what is likely to be more bad luck.

    We need to see fully now what the Marine
    Accident Investigation people come up with.

    I've never thought of it before, but wouldn't it be illegal to fly a Welsh national flag on a British Merchant Navy ship, as the rules of flying flags aboard a ship are very strict?.

    Are there flag police where she sails ?

    Added: thinking about it, recall the flag of St Andrew is often seen flying from the Waverley's Jackstaff.

    Seems traditionally Waverley's Captain chooses their own flag when they take Command of the ship.

    You cannot fly any flag you want to on a whim and he flew the Welsh flag when he was aboard because he was Welsh, a twisted logic, and totally incorrect action, who did he think he was royalty

    Flag rules state that the only national flags flown are those of the country of registry or a courtesy flag of the nationality of the country the vessel when a vessel is in that country's port or national waters and has to be flown on the foremast or the foremast starboard yardarm, or if no such yardarm is available then the next highest mast on the starboard side of the vessel.

    Would any one take note in reality if it were the scull and crossbones,
    if the answer is yes, how come they have not noticed the Celtic flags?

    Just wondered.

    Keith you asked a question about flag police, it was answered, and although the general public may not have any idea of legal flag requirements and etiquette on vessels, then a ship's master should know them and not abuse them and should abide by them, and it is no excuse to ignore the rules just because you are Welsh, Scottish, Irish or English, or any other nationality. Flag rules are there for a reason and should not be trivialised. Flag rules have nothing to do with tradition, or whims, the rules are drawn up by IMO for all vessels to comply with.
