Lovely pictures, but er........... I think your flag should be
mounted on the stern!
I stand corrected if your Congress has passed a new law about this!

There is no law, merely etiquette, protocol and practice. Saw a photo
recently of a squadron of US Navy vessels, very one of which was
flying the national ensign from a different point. If they can't get
it right, what can the rest of us do?

If your navy is anything like our navy, it figures!

As the poster said, it's really etiquette, guess I've been sailing so long I
look on these things as cast in stone!
