Did you know that during years 1898-1899, Falls of Clyde sailed under three flags? She arrived in San Francisco under the British Union Jack. There she was sold to Captain William Matson and she sailed to Hawaii under the Hawaiian flag. Finally, she was reflagged again and flew the U.S. flag from then on.

The flag is not the Union "Jack" but the "Union Flag" the Jack is the pole that the flag fly's from.
Her Hawaiian Flag when she was under this one would include the "Union Flag" in the centre of the Hawaiian state flag would it not!
