Taunton red ensign

Taunton "Liberty and Union" flag 1774

Our fully sewn historical Colonial Flags are hand stitched using nautical grade lightweight knitted polyester fabric and reinfoced polyester threads. Flags sewn from knitted polyester are intended for maritime use and because of light weight would fly even in the slightest breeze. The Meteor red ensign of Taunton carries fully applique sewn "Liberty and Union" slogan, which is mirrored (reads backwards) on the other side.

Every liberty flag is individually manufactured in our family owned workshop, hence is available to buy directly for the better price.

On request flag is available in natural woven linen or woven polyester fabrics 

About our flags

About us

The original Taunton Flag wasn't a military color. It was a flag of protest and petition, actually -- one of many such that were raised on "liberty poles" throughout the Thirteen Colonies and particularly in New England during the five years prior to the outbreak of the Revolution.

The Taunton Flag proclaimed loyalty to the Crown, laid claim on behalf of the colonists to the rights of Englishmen, and called for a union of the colonies in the quarrel with Britain. It was probably raised with the authority of a resolution of the town meeting.
