Catalan Galleon EnsignAt some point of 17th century Catalan merchant ships started using white ensigns with a centered Coat of Arms of Barcelona or Catalonia, rather than the traditional yellow-and-red striped flags of earlier times (to let them look alike to other Spanish Empire flags perhaps?).

This particular design can be used for either merchant and privateering Catalan ships, except for the 1640-1653 period, when designs shortly changed.
