Gin Flags - An Old Naval Tradition An old naval tradition survives today through the Gin Flag. Often each ship in the fleet had their own Gin Flag and designs were many and varied. When the fleet was at anchor and a warship would break open the Officers Mess for Cocktail Hour, the Gin Flag was hoisted as an invitation to others to row over and enjoy a tipple.
Pennant House boasts two Gin Flag designs which are the perfect gift for the Captain with everything.
Because of our proximity to the island, our Vexillologists have designed The Rottnest Gin Flag which features a charming cartoon of a Quokka ( the quaint Kangaroo-Rat-like marsupial that is native to the Island--from which Dutch discovers named the island Rats-nest). |
The Quokka Gin Flag
In the background of the Gin Flag is the map of Rottnest as the Cocktail Quokka happily sips his drink. This version features a green, white, black and Rottnest Gold print with a size of 1400mm x 700mm. You can have this great tradition for a price of AU$80.00 plus 10% GST. |
