Tasmania, 1875

Tasmania, 1875

Although a Colonial Office Circular of December 1865 had introduced British Blue Ensigns as colonial flags, the Governor of Tasmania in 1875 found that nothing had been done yet, so he introduced a Governor's flag and a Colonial Blue Ensign charged with a white cross throughout and bearing a white Southern Cross in the fly (three stars in the upper quarter and two in the lower quarter). There was also a red ensign of the same design to be used by non-government vessels registered in Tasmania. The flags were publicly announced on 9 November 1875.
