Vexillologists (those that study the history, symbolism, and usage of flags and flags in general) say the Columbus Expedition flag was most likely being one of the first two flags to ever be flown within a not-yet formed American territory. On behalf of the Spanish government, who subsidized several explorative journeys, this flag was relatively new at the time and flew on the ships that carried Christopher Columbus.
This standard or Captain's Ensign ("La Capitana,") flew on every of Columbus's ships, featuring the F (Fernando) and Y (Ysabel) with crowns about the initials and a cross between them. The Columbus Expedition flag often is confused for the Lions and Castles (Castile and Leon) flag. In truth, both flags were used and flown by Columbus during his voyages and landings.

Columbus arrived in the Americas on October 12th, 1492 with a fleet of three ships, the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, (though the validity of these ships names is still disputed amidst historians). They completed a two-month voyage attempting to chart a western sea route to China and India when they landed in the Bahamas.

It's estimated that he most likely landed on Watling Island where he claimed it in the name of Spain. Columbus went on to lead four more expeditions to this New World, discovering various Caribbean islands, the Gulf of Mexico, and the South and Central American mainland.

With excruciating attention paid to historical evidence as well as details, we have recreated this iconic Columbus Expedition Flag. Made with our extremely durable nylon, this flag was made to withstand wind, rain and damaging sunlight. Since we chose nylon, one of our most popular and light materials that are still durable this flag will ripple and dance in the smallest of breezes. We feature two highly polished, solidly build brass grommets along the left edge with our Columbus Expedition flag, ensuring ease of hanging or display.

For more than 35 years we have been proudly creating some of the most authentic recreations of beloved flags. This Columbus Expedition flag is 100% fully made in the United States and printed in vibrant, wonderful colors to look amazing no matter where you fly it.
