French Indiaman flagSince 1664, several companies were successively founded in France for promoting long range trade and new territories colonization. All them shared a quite similar badge, or coat of arms, a simplified version of which has been included in this sheet as a mast flag. Unlike the rest of private owned French ships, the successive West and East Indies companies were explicitly authorized by the Crown to fly a plain white ensign, as if Royal Navy warships they were.
