Description
Extend your historical flag collection all the way back to 1492 with a copy of the banner that flew from the Niña, Pinta, and Santa María when Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas!
This Columbus flag is manufactured from tough, weather-resistant nylon for outdoor flying. Nylon is a quick-drying material, which helps prevent mildew growth after rain and humidity. The green, white, and gold design is digitally printed for intricate details and vibrant colors.
These flags feature a durable canvas header and two brass grommets for easy installation on one of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer the Columbus flag in the size 3’ by 5’, which is an excellent fit for our 6’ house-mounted flagpole.

What Flag Did Columbus Sail Under?
According to Christopher Columbus’ logbook, written during his American expedition, the ships Niña, Pinta, and Santa María under his command flew several banners. One was the Royal Standard of the Catholic Kings, which featured a coat of arms, while the more well-known one was Columbus’ captain’s ensign.
This ensign is white with a green cross pattée in the center, representing Christianity. On each side are the letters F and Y, in honor of King Fernando and Queen Ysabel, who funded the expedition. Above each letter is a gold crown, symbolizing their royal status.
