Fly the Red Duster

[Administrator]

Nautilus members are being urged to back a campaign to persuade local councils throughout the UK to raise public awareness of the nation’s dependence on merchant seafarers.

The charity Seafarers UK is asking councils to fly a Red Ensign on Merchant Navy Day, 3 September. Suggested sites include flagpoles in public places, on civic buildings, museums, libraries, schools and churches and free ensigns are on offer to councils that would otherwise not be able to participate.

Free Red Ensign to Parish and Town Councils

Seafarers UK is offering to supply a free (while stocks last!) Red Ensign to Parish and Town Councils that will ‘fly the flag’ on Merchant Navy Day, 3 September, atop public buildings or hoisted on prominent flagpoles, as part of the charity’s campaign to raise public awareness of our ‘island nation’ dependence on Merchant Navy seafarers.

Does you Council know ?
