And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Tempting the local Great White to reach up and grab a tasty lunch.
You are right. Flag at the starboard side of the mast is a courtesy flag. It indicates that the ship has cleared customs at the country they are visiting. The flag at the stern if represents the country where the boat is registered. More often than not the courtesy flag is also very small. In this case they chose to fly a relatively big flag

ReplyDeleteOne flag (stern I believe) for the country it's flagged in and the other for where they are.
