Christopher Columbus' FlagPossibly the first European flags flown over the New World. On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus made a significant notation in his logbook as the expedition reached Guanahani Island (modern day San Salvador). During this historic moment, Columbus chose the Royal Flag for himself and two flags for his captains.

Possibly the first European flags flown over the New World. On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus made a significant notation in his logbook as the expedition reached Guanahani Island (modern-day San Salvador). During this historic moment, Columbus chose the Royal Flag for himself and two flags for his captains. These flags, carried as ensigns on all the ships, were white with a green cross couped addorsed, adorned with Gothic letters "F" and "Y," both in green, and crowned with golden, open royal crowns to represent Fernando and Ysabel.
Columbus meticulously documented this event, noting that these flags symbolized the official possession of the newly discovered land. The Admiral carried the Royal Flag while his captains unfurled the ensigns, creating a visual representation of authority over Guanahani. These three flags marked a historic moment as the first European flags to flutter over America, making their significance even more profound.
This information is sourced from Calvo and Grávalos in 1983, with illustrations numbered 69 and 70. It's worth noting that these flags, with their distinct design elements, became symbolic emblems of Columbus's exploration and the dawn of European presence in the Americas.
